Throughout Pakistan, Hasan is being hailed as a hero.

“Aitzaz Hasan used to tell all that one day he would capture some suicide bomber, and his class fellows used to laugh,” he said. “But this boy proved what he said, and I am sad that he left us too early.”

The English-language Express Tribune newspaper reported that Hasan’s father, Mujahid Ali, was living and working in the United Arab Emirates when the attack occurred. Ali told the newspaper that he had returned not to mourn his son but to celebrate his life.

“My son made his mother cry, but saved hundreds of mothers from crying for their children,” he told the newspaper.

On Twitter, thousands of Hasan’s supporters using the hashtags “#onemillionaitzazs” and “#aitzazbraveheart,” are honoring his memory.
