BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:45 A.M.) – A heroic Iraqi police officer saved dozens of lives in the Babel Governorate, today, after a would-be suicide bomber attempted to enter a mosque in the Musayeb District.

According to the Iraqi Ministry of Defense, the unnamed police officer hugged the suicide bomber before he could enter the mosque in the Al-Musayeb; this would obstruct the terrorist’s path.

The Ministry of Defense added that the police officer was killed after the suicide bomber detonated his belt – no other casualties were reported.

I read this earlier on reddit, I think.

This man is the definition of a HERO. My prayers to his family. May this man never be forgotten.

In their unspeakable grief, may this man's family find comfort in knowing that they raised the best of the best.

Today the Iraqi police force can be proud.

It is good but tragic at the same time. Hopefully acts like this can bring about some reform in that religion. it would be a great starting point.

More lives would have been saved long term if the bomber would have succeeded in his mosque bombing goal.

Since this whole mess started.

ISIS adheres to a very particular, strict interpretation of Islam. They see other interpretations as worse than being non-Muslim. To them, being the wrong kind of Muslim is the worst thing you can be.

Many Muslims are outspoken against groups like a-Q and ISIS; their families and mosques are targeted as a result.

Nope suicide isn't my style. I can think of many other people I would rather kill than myself.

If only we could get the country to legalize hate crimes. Oh darn.
