BANG-COCK!

Terrorist blows off willy in Thai capital

- By NEIL GOODWIN

A BUNGLING terrorist blew off his KNOB when a grenade he hurled at cops bounced back at him!

The Iranian bomber caused mayhem in the Thai capital Bangkok with his bomb antics.

But the worst-injured was the attacker himself, who suffered an explosive DIY sex change… ironically in the middle of a city famed for gender realignmen­t surgery.

As well as himself, the terrorist injured four bystanders as a string of explosions were set off.

He apparently fled from the house and threw grenades at a taxi that refused to stop.

Then he threw a second grenade at cops, but it bounced back and hit him – severing his legs and his PRIVATES.

Israel has accused Iran of being behind the bungled attack.

Israel’s Defence Minister Ehud Barak stopped short of saying the man was trying to target Israelis.

However, it came a day after Israel blamed Iran for attacks which targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia.

And Mr Barak’s comments made clear that Israel considers the attacks connected and sponsored by the Iranian government.

Israeli officials say Iran, and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah, are aggressive­ly targeting Israelis to avenge years of setbacks that they blame on Israel.

Mr Barak said: “The attempted attack in Bangkok proves once again that Iran and its proxies continue to perpetrate terror.

“The recent terror attacks are yet another example of this.”

“Iran and Hezbollah are unrelentin­g terror elements endangerin­g the stability of the region – endangerin­g the stability of the world.”
