Iraqi Police Officer, Shafi Alotifi, was patrolling the streets two days ago as he had done throughout his many years on the beat. However on Thursday, Alotifi noticed a nervous looking man pacing through the busy streets, just west of Baghdad, with a suicide belt strapped to his chest.
Without giving it a second thought, Alotifi sprinted up to the terrorist and wrestled him to the ground – preventing the man from getting to his intended target and from killing a copious amount of people on the densely populated streets of Al-Shu’lah, reports Al Masdar News.
However the attacker detonated his belt – instantly killing the pair of them.
Our thoughts go out to Alotifi’s family and friends at this hard time.
