Pakistan to give national award to citizen killed trying to overpower NZ mosque attacker

A Pakistani national who died in the Christchurch terror attack on two mosques will be conferred with a national award posthumously for trying to tackle the White supremacist gunman before being shot dead by him. Naeem Rashid, a resident of Abbottabad and a professor in New Zealand, was present at the mosque when the terrorist opened fire and killed 50 worshippers.
