    Truly inspiring! He was not going to let the bomber kill his friends! This young man confronted evil, and sacrificed his life to protect others. I'm feel sad for his family, but his selfless act proves that heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and live all over the world, yes even in Pakistan.

    RIP little breh, RIP!

    Good to know there are still those with so much good in their hearts out there. RIP, and I'm sure your classmates will never forget your sacrifice.

    Heroic. Much nicer than the story I read about the 8 year old girl wearing an explosive vest for the Taliban. Luckily, she was caught before it was detonated.

    He looks like how I imagined Lennie from Of Mice and Men to look like.

    This isn't the D&D, and I highly doubt he ever said that.

    Bump. I've avoided clicking on this because I didn't want to get sad, but damn. I really hope there's a better place because the kid deserves it.

    This is incredible.

    Would only hope that I could be that brave in such a tragic situation.
