BBC: Afghan parliament attack 'hero' given flat by president
An Afghan soldier has been greeted as a hero and presented with keys to a new home for killing six of the seven insurgents who tried to storm parliament on Monday.
President Ashraf Ghani tweeted a picture of himself greeting the soldier, Esa Khan, at his office.
The soldier is also to be promoted and given a medal.
On Monday, TV stations showed Mr Khan standing over the bodies of the Taliban attackers after their failed attack.
The militants had detonated a suicide car bomb but failed to get into the parliamentary chamber.
WNU Editor: I guess the Afghan government now have their hero in a war that does not have many heroes.

We get a 100 to 1,000 men like him and the Taliban does not have a snowball's chance in Hell.
The Taliban will move heaven and earth to kill this man and his family.
Kind of afraid of that. they don't want anyone to step up or step forward.
If Lt Col Tony Shaffer told the truth the Taliban can be intimidated too. We just do not do any of that on a consistent basis.
