Iraq: Yemeni Terrorist Arrested Say Interior Ministry Sources
The Iraqi authorities on Tuesday arrested a suspected suicide bomber with Yemeni citizenship who was planning to blow up an elementary school in Baghdad, an interior ministry official announced. "A security guard at a school in Baghdad became suspicious of a person of strange appearance who was hanging around in the school exercise yard at the start of lessons," the chief of public security forces at the ministry, Mahdid Subayh told Adnkronos International (AKI). "The guard caught the man unawares and apprehended him before he had the chance to detonate the explosives belt he was wearing," Subayh said. "This terrorist wanted to blow himself amongst the children during their break from lesson," he added. He said he could not name the school guard or the school - for security reasons.
I hope that guard never wants for anything for the rest of his life.
Iraq's education minister Muhammad Hanun has praised the courage of the guard. "He saved the school's pupils from carnage and handed the terrorist over to the local security forces," a spokesman for the minister told AKI.
