tejek,

re:And they say the only way to stop a suicide bomber is to shoot his head. I don't understand why shooting his arms isn't just as effective.

We weren't there but assume his arms were across his body - the bomb vest (assumed) under his coat would/could have exploded. A head shoot is a clean target with little chance to cause an explosion, also you're goal is to hit the brain in a way he loses all motor control so he can't depress a button.

That said - five shoots - seems a bit excessive.
