Teen dies stopping suicide bomber at school in Pakistan

Interesting story, but just FYI that's from January 2014.

 

LOL.. It happens to the best of us.

It truly is a heart breaking story though. A true hero.

 

I remember reading this back then...very sad indeed and seeing bravery at such a young age.

 

Nothing wrong with revisiting an older story about a heroic act. We spend far too much time concentrating on the few horrible acts and forget the heroism that goes on around us on a daily basis. It might be something as powerful as this or something as simple as a person mentoring a child. These things get forgotten about since they aren't as sensational other depressing stories.

That's my take.

 

I think you meant to post the story about an iraqi guy who did same thing recently

 

I remember the story from Pakistan, and yes, the same thing happened in Iraq just very recently.

He looks llke Hodor.

 

A guy in Syria, I do believe, did the same thing recently. He saw the 2nd suicide bomber and left his daughter to jump on the guy.
