FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RELEASE No. 20071018-04 October 18, 2007
FORWARD OPERATING BASE KALSU, Iraq ? A 72-year-old man stopped a
suspected suicide bomber from detonating himself at a checkpoint in Arab
Jabour Oct. 14.
The man approached a checkpoint where Mudhehr Fayadh Baresh was standing
guard, but did not make it very far. Baresh, a tribal commissioner and
member of the Arab Jabour Concerned Citizens program, said he ordered
the man to lift his shirt – using training received from Coalition
Forces – when he did not recognize him as a local villager.
The suspect refused to lift his shirt. Baresh repeated the command
again, and the suspect exposed his suicide vest, running toward the
checkpoint.
Baresh opened fire which caused the vest to detonate, killing the suspect.
?I did it for the honor of my family and the honor of my country,? said
Baresh.
