Iraqi policeman gives his life to protect young democracy
An Iraqi police officer spotted a suicide bomber, grabbed him and drug him away from the line of people waiting to vote when the bomb went off. He used his body to shield voters from the blast, giving his life for democracy. Voters requeued and the line increased after the blast.
