Police in Pakistan are suggesting that Aitzaz Hassan, a teen who died while stopping a suicide bomber at his college, be awarded a top civilian award. The fifteen-year-old allegedly tackled the wannabe bomber on Jan ten as he attempted to attack Hassan’s college in the state’s agitated northwestern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.

No was else was rubbed out or hurt. A statement from Nasir Khan Durrani, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa CEO of police, expounded Hassan saved the lives of masses of trusting scholars with his acute courage and bravado.

Hassan died in hospital from his wounds after the bomber blew him up at the high-school gates. Paki Boy Noted For Sacrificing Life to Stop Suicide Attack [alert style=”white”] The question is will Hassan be remembered for sacrificing his life for such a noble cause i.e. to protect his fellow men or will he also be left unremembered for his sacrifice for the people of Pakistan. Is this the way to deal with such noble and upright characters? Just because they are not politicians, neither they are bureaucrats nor they belong to the armed forces. [/alert]

Hassan’s dad Mujahid Ali Bangash, asserted he feels pride, not unhappiness, at his son’s death as he laid down his life for his country.
