Man hugs suicide bomber to save lives...

An Iraqi man stopped a would-be suicide bomber from the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham from reaching his intended target on Thursday night.


His  heroic action saved dozens of lives at the Sayyed Mohammad Shrine in the town of Balad.

The man who was identified as Najih Shaker Al-Baldawi, physically stopped the terrorist from entering the shrine before he (the suicide bomber) could detonate his suicide vest, killing them both in the process, Iraqi activists said.

According to Al-Masdar News, Without Al-Baldawi’s heroic act on Thursdsay night, the death toll from the Islamic State terrorist attack at the Sayyed Mohammad Shrine wouldd have risen.
