Father Tackles Suicide Bomber In Beirut, Killing Himself To Save Hundreds Of Lives

[uhnope]

Adel Termos will be a name you haven’t heard before but may never forget.

Prior to Thursday evening's horrific attack, he was out with his young daughter in Beirut's predominantly Shia Muslim neighbourhood of Burj al-Barajneh when two ISIS terrorists turned the area into a swirling inferno of death, destruction and misery.

The first suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest outside the target Shia mosque but thinking on his feet, Termos decided to rush and tackle the other suicide bomber. His decision saved the lives of hundreds of those inside the Shia mosque as well as his daughter but unfortunately cost him his own.
