Hero Iraqi policeman wraps his arms around suicide bomber and save lives of dozens of Shia pilgrims in blast that killed five in town north of Baghdad

An Iraqi policeman has been hailed a hero after throwing his arms around a suicide bomber to shield others from the blast. The bomber struck in Khales, northeast of Baghdad, killing five people and wounding 10 on a Shia pilgrimage, a police colonel and a doctor said. But the toll would almost certainly have been higher were it not for the officer's selfless actions, police said. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2526858/Hero-Iraqi-policeman-saves-dozens-Shia-pilgrims-wrapping-arms-suicide-bomber-shield-blast.html
