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.

"The other students backed off, but Aitazaz challenged the bomber and tried to catch him. During the scuffle, the bomber panicked and detonated his bomb," he said.

Pakistanis on social media are praising Aitazaz's bravery, with people on Twitter asking everyone to use hastags #onemillionaitzazs or simply #aitzaz and calling for his heroism to be recognized with an award.

It takes a special kind of person to run into a suicide bomber knowing that your end will come soon, so completely filled with the intention to save and protect his community by sacrificing himself .. How many adults would have done this ? How many of us would have done something like this ? Where ever he is now , i hope he is safe and peaceful knowing the fact that he saved 100s of other school children .. He gave his today for their tomorrow ...
