Afghani heroes!

Two Afghani civilians stopped a terrorist attack yesterday when they realized that something was wrong, and yanked a homicide bomber from his car before he could detonate in front of the U.S. military base in Kabul.

Oops. Looks like those 72 virgins are going to have to wait...

From CNN.com:

"I think it's a pretty amazing and heroic event," (Col. Tom) Collins said.

He said that at about 9 a.m. Tuesday (10:30 p.m. ET Monday) a driver crashed his vehicle into Camp Phoenix, the base where the Afghan National Army and police are trained. The driver reached for what appeared to be a cord to detonate a bomb, he said.

"Amazingly, a couple of Afghans who just happened to be on the scene there realized what was happening," Collins said.

"Anyone's inclination would have been to run away but these guys are genuine heroes," Collins said.

Yeah, they hate us and all want to die to get us out, huh, Dhimmocrats?
