A man, Pedro, 18, died after accidentally detonating a stick of dynamite that was to be placed at a business.

Minutes later, another device exploded at a residence in Ancón.

Police are investigating both incidents as possible extortion attempts in northern Lima.

Neighbors reacted after hearing the explosion and found the man lying in the street with severe injuries to his hand and abdomen.

The helmet he was wearing was shattered by the force of the blast, an indication of the power of the explosive device used.

Minutes later, several residents helped transport him to the Hospital, where medical personnel confirmed his death.

I would have tucked a dollar into his hand. (Or his helmet). But that's all he would get from me.

Extortionist, indeed. Perhaps he was ACTUALLY a CONTORTIONIST who had an accident. But still better than being a MIME, in a BOX!

I think his nickname was "Blammo!" Or perhaps his name was "Lucy" since he had some "sploding to do!"

I know that I got a bang out of it!

A (former) man named Pedro blew himself up in the name of extortion and anti-capitalism. Raise ya fist for our fallen comrade in the global south!

Pedro was his name!!!
