Aitzaz Hassan was a brave Pakistani teenager who sacrificed his life to save his classmates from a suicide bomber. The incident took place on January 6, 2014, in Hangu District, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, Pakistan.
On that day, Aitzaz Hassan, a 15-year-old student, noticed a suspicious-looking individual approaching his school. Despite being warned by friends to stay away, Aitzaz courageously confronted the bomber outside the school premises. He grabbed the bomber, and during the struggle, the explosives detonated, killing Aitzaz and the bomber instantly.
Aitzaz's heroic act prevented the bomber from entering the school, potentially saving the lives of hundreds of students and staff. His selfless sacrifice earned him recognition and admiration not only in Pakistan but also internationally. He was posthumously awarded the Sitara-e-Shujaat, Pakistan's highest civilian award for bravery, to honor his extraordinary courage and sacrifice.
Aitzaz's act of bravery became a symbol of courage and resilience against terrorism and extremism. He remains an inspiration to many people around the world, reminding us of the power of selflessness and the importance of standing up against acts of violence to protect others.
