School Experiment Gone Horribly Awry

From AP (H/T MH):
JAKARTA, Indonesia – A man reportedly trying to show students how to make explosives was killed by a homemade bomb inside an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia, police said Tuesday. 
School officials and students have prevented police from entering the building since Monday's explosion, local police spokesman Lt. Col. Sukarman Husen said. 
But they discovered the body of the suspected bomb maker, a 30-year-old man identified only as Firdaus, on a bus Tuesday as it tried to leave the school compound, he said.  
Eleven people have been taken in for questioning, Husen said, adding that police also confiscated a number of arrows and machetes...
Back in the day, we got to play with mercury in science class, but bombs, arrows and machetes sound a whole lot more fun.

Aren't you glad that CIDA gives millions every year to Indonesia.

It's nice to see that our conservative gubment ain't wasting our money.

Yet oddly enough the word "jizya" can be found nowhere on the CIDA site. ;)
