They should keep bombing themselves, no Wahala. So far it is the bombers that are being bombed, there’s nothing to worry about.

The police have to be at alert always, these bombers have been brainwashed, they believe they are doing the right thing by killing innocent people, this is why the police should take their job seriously and stop every suicide bombing attempt.
