Tributes have been pouring in for a Pakistani teenager who was killed on Monday when he tackled a suicide bomber targeting his school in the Hangu area.

Aitzaz Hasan, 15, was with friends outside school when they spotted a man wearing a suicide vest.

Despite the pleas of his fellow students, he decided to confront and capture the bomber who then detonated his vest, his cousin told the BBC.

What a brave young man and what a shame that he had to pay the ultimate price for the twisted logic of a primitive suicide bomber. What sort of sick ideology promotes targeting schools ffs?

"My son made his mother cry, but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children," Mujahid Ali, Aitzaz's father is quoted as saying.

Brave lad

Brave indeed a selfless act to have confronted them.

I know it's not a simple question but would anyone know, is the semi-autonomous status of the tribal areas a legacy of British rule?
