Ahlulbayt News Agency: A 15-year-old schoolboy named Islam has drawn praise after saving over 100 people during the terrorist attack at a Moscow concert hall on Friday.  

Islam Khalilov was at work in his part time job as a cloakroom attendant at the Crocus City Hall venue when the terrorist rampage began.

Upon hearing the gunshots, Islam helped people find the emergency exit and guided more than 100 people to exit, helping them get out unharmed, Al-Alam news network reported.

Following this heroic act, the Muslim Religious Department and the Russian Council of Muftis plan to present the teenage hero with a bravery award.

Camouflaged gunmen opened fire at the packed Crocus City Hall in Moscow’s northern suburb of Krasnogorsk on Friday evening ahead of a concert in the deadliest attack in Russia for at least a decade.

Russia’s FSB security service said 11 people had been detained, including four people directly involved in the attack as the death toll rose to about 150.
