Islamabad (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 16th December, 2018) Army Public School (APS) attack survivor Ahmad Nawaz has shared his painful experience of the day on the fourth anniversary of the attack.

“I lost my brother Haris Nawaz and saw my friends and teacher die before me, the emotional trauma was too hard to heal,” Ahmad Nawaz said while talking to media.

Ahmed Nawaz himself got severely injured in the horrific attack and had to go through a long surgery to save his arm in UK’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital.

Ahmad further recalled that terrorists targeted children for they didn’t want the younger generation to get education in order to easily radicalise them.

“Their (the terrorists) motive was to deter children and scare them away from the pursuit of education but I started a campaign to spread awareness about the importance of education to beat the ideology of terrorists,” the brave boy said.

Ahmed Nawaz made news earlier this year when he topped his GSCE exams. He announced his result in a tweet and said he achieved six A*’s and two A’s in his eight GCSE exams.
