Top honour for man shot by robber Aug 24 2005 By The Huddersfield Daily Examiner
A HAVE-A-GO hero who was killed as he tried to foil an armed robbery has been given a top posthumous honour.
Father-of-two Tasawar Hussain [a Muslim], 36, who worked at British Car Auctions in Brighouse, has been awarded the Queen's Commendation for Bravery.
The award was presented to his seven-year-old daughter Haarisah Hussain by the Lord Lieutenant of West Yorkshire, Dr Ingrid Roscoe, on behalf of the Queen.
Haarisah's sister, Rasia, and mother Naila were also at the moving ceremony in Bradford City Hall.
Tasawar was killed by a single shot through his heart after trying to stop armed robbers who had struck at Madina Travel in Manningham, Bradford in January, 2003.
The robbers got away with £40,000, and Mr Hussain pursued them in a car with his best friend, Azram Hussain.
Mrs Hussain said yesterday: "Not a day goes by without me thinking of him.
"For my two little girls, they will never have a dad again." |

I admire both men very much. There are many good people in all races. Too bad the negatives overshadow the positives. Stigmatism can be catching! All it needs to spread is a jump-start! Americans were jump-started on 9/11. Damn shame! I worked with Muslims while I pursued a living in the resort business. All good people and good workers.
