The luckiest boy alive: DAWOOD IBRAHIM OVERSLEPT BECAUSE HIS ALARM WAS OFF YESTERDAY MORNING. ALL HIS CLASSMATES ARE DEAD
Dawood Ibrahim is counting his blessings after his alarm clock failed to work
yesterday - because it meant he overslept and avoided getting caught up in the
massacre at his school in Pakistan.
The 15-year-old is now
the only member of class 9 left at the Army Public School in Peshawar after
terrorists slaughtered every one of his classmates.
His story came to light
after a tweet appeared that read 'there is no class 9 in APS anymore... Dawood,
15, is the only survivor'.
Lucky Boy indeed! May the lord continue to guide you dear boy |
Family bury a student killed in the attack |
His older brother, Sufyan Ibrahim, confirmed his remarkable escape to The Express Tribune of Pakistan.
He said: 'It was fate.
No one from his class survived. Every single one of them was killed.'
It's believed that his
class may have been murdered by one of the gunmen detonating a suicide vest.
Dawood spent yesterday
attending funerals, his brother added - having been at a wedding the night
before.
Meanwhile, horrifying
accounts from child survivors of the Pakistan school massacre continued to
emerge - including one who was sprayed with the 'warm blood and flesh' of his
friends as gunmen opened fire during a first-aid class.
Their horrendous ordeals came as the first devastating images emerged today of the blood-soaked classrooms where 132 innocent children and nine teachers were massacred by the Taliban at an army-run school in Peshawar.
Ehsan Elahi, 13, told
how he survived by playing dead after being shot twice in the arm as militants
'sprayed bullets like hell' into his class, turning the room into a 'pool of
blood and death'.
Speaking to MailOnline
from his hospital bed, the eight-grade pupil said he was being taught first aid
by army instructors in the main hall when he heard the sound of gunfire drawing
nearer.
He said: 'Our teachers
and instructors asked us to calm down but the sound of the bullets started came
closer and closer.
'In the next minute, the
glass of windows and doors of the hall smashed with bullets. Some people
started kicking the hall doors.'
He said that situation
created panic among the 100 students in the hall.
He said: 'Everybody was
trying to find a place to hide but there was not such places in the hall.
'The students were
crying and weeping.
'There were only chairs
and benches to hide behind in the hall. I jumped behind a bench and laid on the
ground.'
He said the attackers
burst in and started 'spraying bullets like hell'.
Elahi continued: 'I saw
army instructors falling on the ground first. I saw many of my friends getting
bullets on their heads, chests, arms and legs right in front of me.
'Their body parts and
blood were flying like small pieces of cotton in the class room.
'Warm blood and flesh of
my friends fell on my face and other parts of my body. It was horrible.
'They kept on firing
bullets for at least 10 minutes and then stopped. It was a pause of a maximum
of a minute.
'Next moment, they
started spraying bullets again towards those who were crying with pain or
moving. I also received two bullets on my right arm.
