Pizza delivery man dies after strap-on bomb explodes

A PIZZA delivery man told police he had been forced to rob a bank and asked authorities to help him minutes before a bomb strapped to his chest exploded and killed him.

Federal agents and police in northwestern Pennsylvania are trying to solve the bizarre case of 46-year-old Brian Douglas Wells, who left to deliver a pizza to a mysterious address in a remote area about an hour before he turned up at the bank with a bomb strapped to his body.

No one else was hurt in Thursday’s explosion, which happened in front of law enforcement officers as they waited for a bomb squad to arrive.
