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.
