Umm Salim
This 21-year-old man, working as a hotel guard at the Sadeer Novotel Hotel is killed in a suicide bombing: a garbage truck driven by a terrorist explodes in front of the hotel where he is working. Hasib behaves courageously, firing at the terrorist in order to fulfill his professional duty and defend the people in the hotel. Hasib’s young age, along with the fact that he leaves behind a young wife and their baby daughter, highlights the tragedy of these terrorist attacks, which murder innocent people every day. After his body is destroyed in the explosion, Hasib’s soul inhabits the Whatsitsname’s corpse, motivating it to seek revenge on those responsible for the attack at the hotel.
