Aitzaz Hasan, Pakistani school boy who sacrificed his life from suicide bomber
The incident happened on January 6, 2014, after the 15-year-old ninth grader in the isolated village of Hangu, a district in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, reportedly arrived late to school. As punishment, the student was reportedly instructed to stand outside the Government High School Ibrahimzai’s gate with two other classmates.
According to reports, the group saw a man approaching their school who appeared to be in his 20s. When one of the students noticed a detonator, two of the students fled right away, but Hasan stayed to stop the bomber.

“I’m going to stop him”
He then declared, ‘I’m going to stop him,’ to them. He intended to apprehend this suicide bomber. “He is going to school to kill my friends,” he declared. Days after the incident, Hasan’s cousin Mudassar Hassan Bangish told the BBC that the man wanted to stop him.
One of the teachers who allegedly saw the incident claimed to have seen Hasan pursuing the bomber. The man managed to detonate the bomb, killing himself and Hasan, despite the teenager’s attempt to tackle him and stop him.
“The suicide bomber intended to kill all the students and destroy the school. In an interview with BBC, Bangish said, “It was my cousin who stopped him from this… destruction. There were about 2,000 students inside the school at the time.
Days after the bombing, the Sunni Muslim sectarian group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which sought to kill Shia Muslims, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Honouring a hero
Hasan’s father, speaking to Pakistan’s Express Tribune with pride rather than in mourning, said, “My son made his mother cry, but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children.”
Although it took the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government several days to acknowledge Hasan’s sacrifice, it eventually declared that a stadium would be built in his honor and that the name of the high school he attended would be changed to Shaheed Aitizaz Hasan Government High School.
Additionally, representatives from the provincial government paid a condolence visit to Hasan’s family.
Before taking office as Pakistan’s prime minister in 2018, Imran Khan served as the organization’s chairman. He expressed dissatisfaction with the way the government handled Hasan’s death and revealed in a tweet that he would be establishing a trust fund for the teen’s family.
On January 11, 2014, the government posthumously presented Hasan with the Sitara-e-Shujaat, Pakistan’s highest honor for valor.
In addition to the honors and recognition from the government, many activists and international organizations have praised Hasan for his bravery. Days after the incident, Malala Yousafzai, who had two years prior survived a Taliban attack in Pakistan, declared that she was “proud to belong to a country where many brave and courageous people like Aitzaz Hasan are born.” Hasan was also bestowed with the global bravery award by the International Human Rights Commission.
