FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RELEASE No. 20070821-05

Citizen sacrifices life to thwart suicide bomber
Multi-National Division – Center PAO

FORWARD OPERATING BASE HAMMER, Iraq – An Iraqi man saved the lives of four U.S. Soldiers and eight civilians when he intercepted a suicide bomber during a Concerned Citizens meeting in the town of al-Arafia Aug. 18.

The incident occurred while Soldiers from 3rd Squadron, 1st Cavalry Regiment, were talking with members of the al-Arafia Concerned Citizens, a volunteer community group, at a member’s house.

“I was about 12 feet away when the bomber came around the corner,” said Staff Sgt. Sean Kane, of Los Altos, Calif., acting platoon sergeant of Troop B, 3-1 Cav. “I was about to engage when he jumped in front of us and intercepted the bomber as he ran toward us. As he pushed him away, the bomb went off.”

The citizen’s actions saved the lives of four U.S. Soldiers and eight civilians.

Kane felt the loss personally because he had met and interacted with his rescuer many times before the incident.

“He was high-spirited and really believed what the group (Concerned Citizens) was doing,” Kane said. “I have no doubt the bomber was trying to kill American Soldiers. It was very calculated the way the bomber tried to do it. If he hadn’t intercepted him, there is no telling how bad it could have been.”

Kane believes the citizen is a hero.

“He could have run behind us or away from us, but he made the decision to sacrifice himself to protect everyone. Having talked with his father, I was told that even if he would have known the outcome before hand, he wouldn’t have acted differently.”

Capt. Brian Gilbert, of Boise, Idaho, the commander of Company D, 1st Battalion, 15th Infantry Regiment, currently attached to 3-1 Cavalry, echoed Kane’s sentiment.

“I spoke with the father,” Gilbert said. “He said he has no remorse in his son’s death because he died saving American Soldiers.”

Later that night, the Concerned Citizens group contacted the local National Police director, Lt. Col. Samir, with the location of the al-Qaeda cell believed to be responsible for the attack. The National Police immediately conducted a raid that resulted in four arrests.

Despite the citizen’s death, Gilbert is encouraged by the cooperation between citizens and the Iraqi National Police.

“The effort of the Concerned Citizens group has made the area much safer,” he said. “They are proud of who they are and their area, and want to get rid of the terrorists in their area.”

Gilbert also praised the Iraqi National Police’s role in eliminating insurgents in the area.

“The cooperation between them and the Concerned Citizens has been key,” Gilbert said. “The NP has done a great job of responding to the tips they have been given by the group.”

Gilbert said he believes the area is improving because of the efforts of local citizens. The death, while unfortunate, demonstrated how close many in the area have become with the American Soldiers operating there.

“I consider many in the town friends, and I know they feel the same,” Gilbert said. “This is a tough situation, but we’ll move on and try to prevent things like this from happening again. I’ve talked with his family and told them how brave their son was. This is a huge loss for everyone involved.”

So let me get this straight. While the 12Liar Militia was getting their asses kicked by the Brits and the US, Mookie was in Iran getting his head diapers cleaning and washing the asses of his puppetmasters in Iranian Gestapo HQ?

And now he claims “honest resistence that brought victory”?
Wow isn’t that tagyiya with a capital “T”.

Fuck you Mookie you little fucktard. And the “Independent”
can go screw themselves as far as I’m concerned. I’ve had just about all I’m going to stand from libtard pubs.

Someone needs to stick a bullet in his head.

Thanks for that story. The MSM would have us believe the Iraqi’s don’t want the law and order and chance at life our troops are trying and dying to bring them. The MSM would NEVER report this type of story … Which is why sites like these and folks like those who frequent them are so important in getting out the news the American media, and the world media in general, won’t report.

Fuck the MSM.

I am afraid that I will be the cause of Mookie filing a lawsuit against you, your site, and possibly me for posting the fact that he drinks fermented goat piss mixed with antifreeze yesterday, which is what has caused him to be so irrational. a little more antifreeze, and he’ll be toast…

WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE KILL THAT ASSHOLE? WHAT THE HELL DO I PAY TAXES FOR?

Not happy reading and makes me far from proud to be British.

The guy is nuts and I wouldn’t believe anything that comes out of his pie hole.

Deathstar

Thank you for that story. I was at work reading it and it reduced me to tears. Gratitude. The actions of many Iraqi people, especially this man and his family, speak volumes about the war and what our troops are doing there. R.I.P.

What a bunch of lying and deceitful jerks! They want the best of both worlds, to discredit the media who would have sway, while also bolstering their position using that very same media. And the masses eat it up, buying up and believing the clever art and artifice behind it.

This isn’t unlike the conspiracy theorists IN, and outside of, the Middle-East who would call 9/11 a Jewish plot, acted on by the Bush Administration, but somehow still masterminded by Osama bin Laden. They don’t have to make any logic sense to gain points on both sides, with the uneducated masses in the Middle-East and well, the uneducated masses around the world (mainly the West, Europe and America).

THIS is why we need more Victor Davis Hanson classicists! To return our nation to one of logic, reason, and sense!!
