Pakistani Teen Dies Stopping Suicide Bomber (VOA)

Local police said the ninth grader saw the attacker getting off a bus and heading toward the school gate. The attacker was wearing a school uniform but he looked suspicious, and that is when Aitzaz tried to stop him, prompting the attacker to set off the bomb.

Aitzaz's elder brother, Mujtaba, told VOA Deewa service the teenager's act "made his mother cry but saved 500 other mothers from crying," referring to the number of students in the school at the time of the blast.
