Moment Egyptian police man is killed by bomb he's trying to defuse captured on film

The right pic was taken a few seconds after a brave Egyptian police officer was killed while trying to defuse a bomb left outside a petrol station on a busy road in Cairo, Egypt yesterday. The officer, dressed in protective gear (left) was filmed on mobile phone as he approached the bomb and filmed also as the bomb exploded in his hands a few minutes later (right).

 Passersby rushed to his side after the explosion but he was already gone. A terror group named Ajnad Misr (Soldiers of Egypt) later claimed on Twitter that they were responsible for the attack and had been targeting police officers at a nearby station. These photos were shared on Twitter. A similar incident happened in Nigeria a few years back...

      That incident was a show of ignorance, the force man wasn't suited. If he had been suited, he would still have a shot at survival, or better yet not be blown to smithereens

      The bomb suit is meant to reduce the impact, increasing chances of survival depending on the impact of the blast. So it isn't a sham. Get your facts right.
