“They did that at the rear of the police car.

A Royal Marine in southern Afghanistan threw himself onto an exploding grenade to save the lives of his patrol.
Miraculously, Lance Corporal Matt Croucher, a marine reservist from Birmingham, survived the blast with little injury when his rucksack and body armour took the force of the blast. He is expected to receive one of the highest awards for gallantry.
The story of his courage emerged last week in interviews with marines occupying a forward operating base near Sangin in Helmand province. They are preparing to leave after serving for six months at the centre of some of the fiercest fighting in Afghanistan. The outpost, Forward Operating Base Inkerman, is better known to troops as “FOB Incoming”.
Bangalore: A small aircraft of Kingfisher Airlines with 29 people on board on a flight to Hyderabad was involved in an accident on the runway at the airport on Thursday night shortly before take-off, leaving two passengers injured.
The planes nosewheel was damaged after it hit a dog that strayed into the area and since the canine got entangled in the nosewheel, the pilot applied the brake, jamming the landing gear of the ATR aircraft afterwhich the aircraft slid on the runway on its belly. All passengers of the IT 2427 flight were evacuated from the turb-prop ATR plane afterward.
An Airlines spokesman said the aircraft hit a dog on the runway leading to the collapse of its nose wheel. As the pilot applied the brake, the landing gear collapsed, leaving the plane stranded, official sources said.
Bangalore Airport Director Narendra Kaushal said two persons suffered minor injuries and all the 29 passengers were moved out of the plane.
He said the aircraft came to a stand still due to the nosewheel collapse. “It was not a crash landing”, he told PTI.
Kaushal said as the runway was blocked by the stranded plane on the runway, movement of flights in and out of Bangalore came to a complete halt and it would take some time to get it cleared for resumption of flights.
Efforts were on to tow the aircraft from the runway. A spokesmen of the Kingfisher Airline described the incident as an “aborted take-off”.
