Iraqi Army soldiers killed subduing bomber
A suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest after being subdued by three heroic Iraqi Army Soldiers outside the neighborhood advisory council building killing all three soldiers and two civilian bystanders in the Karadah district Jan. 6.
“The selfless sacrifice of the three Iraqi soldiers should not be forgotten. These martyrs gave their lives so that others might live,” said Lt. Col. Steve Stover, spokesman for Multi-National Division-Baghdad. “The valor and devotion to the mission displayed by these two Iraqi soldiers embodies the character of the Iraqi Army, especially on the Iraqi Army Day.”
Four Iraqi civilians were also wounded in the attack.
