Here was an impressive tactic by an Israeli officer, which was captured thru aerial footage:

There was a battle going on between 2 terrorists and 3 Israeli officers. The first terrorist was killed immediately, but the second terrorist threw a grenade at an Israeli officer. That officer dashed forward and grabbed the terrorist, and then used the terrorist's own body as a shield from the grenade's explosion. The terrorist was killed, but the officer survived. I thought that's something that only happens in action movies.

i am not sure if this is widely known, but i heard that an unarmed constable named tukaram in chhatrapati shivaji terminas, mumbai grabbed this qasab terrorist, took five shots to the body, and did not let go. that's how they were able to capture qasab alive. tukaram succumbed to his gunshot wounds.
is this well-known? i have seen no eulogies for the brave tukaram; i just heard about this in a speech made by ex-RAW chief hormis tharakan.
that would also be an exercise in selfless and smart courage. but the ELM has no use for any such heroes.
Rediff had a column on Late Tukaram Ombule.
