  • I was just pondering without purpose, just about an hour ago, when a couple of words popped into my head that I contemplated as 'coinable'.  One word was terrortwist and I envisioned using it to describe a terrorist act that goes astray and destroys the terrorist(s) instead of the intended target (such terrorists, I imagined, might additionally be described as terrortwits .  I went out to Google and checked for any hits on the words--no, there were none.  I then considered a casual post to suggest their usage but wavered on posting it without having a substantial instance to exemplify it.  Well, an hour later, checking the news, I ran into this:


    RIYADH, Saudi Arabia  — Two suspected militants blew themselves up Thursday in the holy city of Mecca when security forces attempted to arrest them, a security official said.


    The official said the two likely belonged to a terror cell that had clashed with Saudi police in Mecca on Monday. That cell has been linked to Al Qaeda, the terrorist network blamed for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States and for a string of suicide bombings in the Saudi capital in May.
