A would-be Irish bomber ended up blowing himself up after he forgot that the clock attached to the bomb would move forward an hour for British Summer Time. However, reports suggest that the man isn't dead, but severely injured and managed to flee from the blast site.

This could have been a throwback to Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

A would-be Irish bomber ended up blowing himself up after he forgot that the clock attached to the bomb would move forward an hour for British Summer Time. However, reports suggest that the man isn't dead, but severely injured and managed to flee from the blast site.

Police are looking for the man who is suspected of having planted the bomb in Dublin on Sunday and who suffered severe injuries when the bomb went off prematurely.

He had attached the bomb to a Volvo SUV.

The man was reportedly seen fleeing the blast site in a taxi with blood on his face.

The police have appealed to everyone for information about the suspect and if someone had picked him up to contact them.

Superintendant Dave Taylor said the explosion could have had "very, very serious" consequences.

"It was a very extensive explosion and it was a very frightening experience for the people," he said.

"We are appealing for anyone who might have picked up a person in the New Street and Clanbrassil Street area shortly after 11pm who was quite obviously suffering to come forward. It is quite obvious that the car was the object of this attack. We are investigating all the circumstances surrounding that at the moment. It's very early in the investigation to determine the reason behind it," he said.
