Soldiers catch boy suicide bomber
Troops leapt behind concrete barricades and sent a robot to hand scissors to 16-year-old Hussam Abdo so he could cut off the vest. They then ordered him to strip to his underwear before detonating the bomb.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the incident. The boy’s family said he had a mental disability: “He doesn’t know anything, and he has intelligence of a 12-year-old,” his brother, Hosni, said.
