BAGHDAD – Iraqi police near the northern city of Tal Afar prevented a suicide bomber from killing innocent civilians Thursday by engaging with small arms fire, causing his vest to detonate.

The suspicious individual approached the checkpoint near the Al-Qadisiyah neighborhood and did not comply with the police’s repeated warnings to stop approaching. As the police began to fire at the suicide bomber, the vest detonated, killing the individual.

The police actions thwarted the attack and there were no injuries to innocent civilians or Iraqi Security Forces.

I just had to repeat it since the MSM won't be publicizing this.
