How grenade works

A device being presented as evidence at a trial in a Pakistani court blew up after the judge asked a police officer to show how it worked.

At least two people were injured, including the policeman, in the blast at an anti-terrorism court in the city of Karachi.

Some reports say the device was a grenade taken from the defendant.

Police later said it was just a detonator with an explosive element that should have been defused.

The incident took place on Monday at the trial of a man accused of extortion and of carrying out a number of grenade attacks.

Police said several devices had been found when they arrested him.

The device presented in court was at the request of the defence. Judge Shakil Haider then asked how it worked.

A part of the device was pulled from it and it exploded, throwing the judge off his chair.

Senior police official Jamil Ahmed said that explosives around the detonator had been made harmless, but added: "We are investigating as to how the detonator was brought to the court without being defused."

This is one of the funniest thing I've read recently. The judge never will ask anyone to demonstrate something.

Seriously, is it really necessary to demo how the grenade works? I mean, it's a freaking grenade!

Did nobody scream Alluha Ahkbar?

Gotta love the Pakistanis:microwave

We just have another nominee for the darwin awards.

Yeah heard it few days ago on TV. Judge must be high or something to ask something like that. On top of that, the police officer who actually demonstrated how it works.
