How to Fail at Suicide Bombing
According to Liveleak.com, this VBIED suicide bomber survived an attack on American forces in Baghdad... briefly.
He wasn't the only one who failed (content warning for language).
Funny how the failed suicide bombings and foiled IED attacks rarely get reported in the media, isn't it?
Bonus: Some pre-release footage from Pat Dollard's documentary, Young Americans.

Actually it's not funny (strange) at all. It is (and always has been) deliberate American policy not to count insurgent attacks that don't result in death or serious injury to American troops. By doing this they hoped to minimize the scale of the insurgency in the public mind. A rather futile policy in my opinion.

What? Centcom doesn't report them? I think a cite is required for that statement.
