Aitizaz Hasan to be honoured with Sitara-e-Shujaat
Hasan – a student from Hangu – tackled a suicide bomber on January 6 who had come to attack his school at a time when hundreds of students were inside.
The brave boy died while protecting others.
The school is the only one in Ibrahimzai, a Shia-dominated area in Hangu. There were nearly 2,000 students in the school at the time the attack occurred. Later in the day, the bombing, which was the first suicide attack at a school, was claimed by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi.
Earlier today, teenage activist Malala Yousufzai announced she would give Rs0.5 million to Aitizaz Hasan’s family and called on the government to bestow the highest civilian award on him.

Once a pride of Pakistan, PIA is in a bad shape.
Look who is opposing PIA privitisation. Greedy employee unions and PPP.
Once a pride of Pakistan, PIA is in a bad shape. The announcement of its privatisation has started a debate among its employees, leading to an open resistance (greed).
Passengers of PIA recall the time when PIA was a successful airline. Today, PIA is notorious for poor service, unnecessarily long delays and sudden flight cancellations.
It has an ageing fleet of some 32 planes, more than 16,000 EMPLOYEES (WHY?), a reputation of negligence and mismanagement and the burden of multiplying loans.
People associated with PIA blame inconsistent policies and political interventions at different levels for the gradual decline — from purchase of various items to awarding of different contracts.
PIA showed profit in 2003-2004 last, when Ahmad Saeed was the chairman.
