Shooting someone wearing TATP explosive
If you are in a shooting situation where your target is in close proximity to TATP explosives you should either make certain you dont hit the containers or you are prepared to accept the consequences of a detonation.
Practicing head shots will be part of the next range session.

Kind of makes me wonder about how close together the bad guys are – It would be neat if you could stop the whole gang with one chain reaction of sympathetic detonations.
We would need a new logo for “Seven at one blow”, with awards, plaques, coffee mugs, t-shirts, and lots of other merchandising possibilities.

An Israeli counter terrorism manual I read once said shooting the bomb vest is bad. So four men rush the bomber, each hold down a limb. This assumes the vest does not go off. Then a fifth armed man head shots the grounded helpless bomber.
The idea is that as long as the vest is armed your at deadly force. Disarming could take hours and a hand could get free at any time.

Granny, there is no way to design a perfect counter to a determined suicide attack, but one does what one can.
Detonating the suicidal attacker either in an isolated place, or better yet while they are among their allies, are optimal solutions, if disarming is not likely.
And then there was that Volkswagen ad about how tough &quiet their new cars were….
