(Ynet News) Zvi Alush - Lawi Abu-Jama'a, one of two security guards who sustained serious injuries in the suicide bombing at the Beersheva central bus station Sunday, will no longer be able to see from his left eye, yet the images he remembers will be etched in his memory forever. "We ran after the suicide bomber," Abu-Jama'a said Thursday from his hospital bed. "I knew he had explosives in his bag. I grabbed his right hand. Pavel grabbed his left hand, but he managed to shake Pavel off and detonated the bomb." Abu-Jama'a, 27, from a Bedouin community in the Negev, lies side-by-side in Soroka Hospital's plastic surgery ward with fellow security guard Pavel Srotzkin, 22. "I know we saved many people. It's our job, that is what we have been taught to do," said Abu-Jama'a.
