    Thumbs up Unsung Heroes



    These two JCOs from Corps of Artillery caught a suicide bomber trying to blew himself near a military convoy with there bare hands. The suicide bomber was planned to be shot but due to the large number of civilians around him and less time available to deploy a sharp shooter a quick dare devil tactics was employed by these two Heroes.

    He was observed for asome time and when it was confirmed that his bomb was not auto triggered and the SB has to use his hands to trigger the bomb (as calculated by the experts after observing the SB), these two Lions jumped in and got the dude from his arms!



    Salute to these men!!

    Say whatever about our Police officers, they are definitely doing one of the toughest police work in the world.

    Just imagine if that idiotic kid would blow himself up... They have to hold him physically with their hands. Brave, definitely.

    Or may be it was because this took place at the time when our nation was still having guud dreams about the Taliban menace and took everything for granted.

    i know one of the JCOs and had some talk with him over this. He told me that when they both got hold of the SB he was threatening them that he would blew himself, and the JCO told me that we had already dragged him far away from humans and then we told him while holding him from his neck that come on do it, it's just you and two of us, we go together, you to hell and we to a better place.

    i mean, we had the idea that the SB would not be able to trigger the jacket if his hands are locked, but who knows what he would have in his kitty!?
