An engineering student who studied in Kansas has been hailed a hero after he was killed trying to stop an ISIS suicide bombing in Saudi Arabia.

Abdul al-Arbash, 25, has been named as a member of a pair of volunteer guards who chased a terrorist attacker who wanted to blow himself up in a packed mosque in the city of Dammam.
