The dramatic incident took place in the
Kadhimiyah neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq and
was captured by CCTV cameras and
photographers present. A police officer named
Saad Ali Thabit discovered and then held a
would-be bomber during a routine search at the
checkpoint where he was working. Immediately
other people lined up at the checkpoint noticed
the situation, they all ran away to protect their
lives.
Nevertheless, Thabit engaged in a life-and-death
struggle with the ISIS suicide bomber and
successfully restrained him. He somehow found
time to pose for a picture while holding the
jihadi's arms up to stop him triggering his bomb
and killing dozens of people. As he pressed him
against the wall, his colleagues ripped off the
militant's clothes to reveal the homemade
explosive belt and cut it off him. He then forced
the radical to the ground and tied his hands
behind his back.
