He was overwhelmed and detonated right there and then, killing himself and Sasha, one of the dogs who had bitten and latched onto the bomber. The other two dogs were flanking the bomber and barking like mad; they were far enough away to survive, but were severely injured.
The two survivors have since recovered and finally got their reward: shipped back to the USA to be adopted by their favorite soldier (one of the fifty men in the barracks that the dogs protected from the bomber).
No wonder the insurgents hate dogs!

RIP Sasha.
Sadly, now we have to say RIP Target.
Both surviving dogs came to the USA and were adopted by soldiers. Unfortunately, after a few months, Target got out of the yard, slipped his collar and was picked up by animal control. Though Sgt. Young put up notices and called all the shelters, they had already mistakenly put the dog down. An employee grabbed the wrong dog and euthanized Target before the mandatory wait period. :(
