I agree with you and the whole world should applaud his selfless action, acknowledge what he did to save lives and also support his family.

RIP <3

As the world continues to mourn the deaths of more than 120 people in Paris at the hands of alleged Islamic State militants, a hero has emerged whose actions likely saved the lives of countless people — and he's nearly 2,000 miles away from Paris.

Adel Termos was walking in an open-air market with his daughter in southern Beirut's Bourj al-Barajneh district Thursday when he heard a blast. A bomb had detonated. Glass and debris went flying. There was mayhem. When Termos noticed a second suicide bomber preparing to attack, he made a split-second decision to tackle the assailant.

The bomb went off, killing Termos. But his sacrifice likely saved dozens, if not hundreds, of lives.

Neither his death, nor the deaths of dozens of innocent people in Beirut on 12 November was reported in the Western 'main' media. <3

Thank you for that, Guinevere.
Noticeably one of the few media sources in the UK not owned, run and/or dictated to by Rupert Murdoch.
