A 14-year-old boy is being hailed as a hero in Pakistan for tackling a suicide bomber -- dying at the main gate of his school and saving schoolmates gathered for their morning assembly.

What a hero at age 14! A quote i just read (from BBC i think) said it all: "My son made his mother cry, but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children," Mujahid Ali, Aitzaz's father.

Isn't it sad but lovely that the brave boys Mother had such a magnanimous attitude. These poor people must see awful things like this much too often.
