If this were a movie, it could be possible that the bomber didn't want the bomb to explode, because the bomber was a CIA plant. Sent to Pakistan to infiltrate terrorist organizations to gather intelligence, including their bomb making capabilities. He carried out the bombing attempt to complete the rouse. He fits the profile for someone we need to infiltrate such organizations. Ah, if this were only a movie, a black ops team would be only minutes away from eliminating that terrorist organization for good.
