Iraqi school guard stands up to Islamic State militants, foils attack
2018-02-16
[Iraq News] An Iraqi school guard in Diyala province single-handedly repelled an attack by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Lions of Islam against local paramilitary forces.

Awwad al-Rubayi, chairman of the security committee at Abi Saida precinct, told Alghad Press that terrorist elements, probably, from the Islamic State, sneaked in the area and erected a ladder against the walls of a school on the outskirts of Abi Saida. He said the Lions of Islam were planning to use the school as a vantage point for an attack against paramilitary security forces.

"The guard was prepared, and managed to confront the Lions of Islam with his personal gun and foiled the attack, leaving him with injuries," the official said. Local chased the fighters away, he added.

#2  Update:
Apparently the Florida high school had a police officer on site WHO DID NOT ENGAGE THE SHOOTER.

The Iraqi school guard had more balls than the American one.
