From the article: “It was as if they [the fathers] had been protecting them,” said Mustafa Akhras, 27. “They both died but Nadia and Ashraf, they didn’t have as much as a graze.”
Hate that. I always suspect the worst news is the correct story.
That would be a father's love. I wonder if they somehow caught wind of something just before the blast. We'll never know.
I think the picture got the name wrong. In the body of the story, Ashraf D'as is the groom, and it was his father who was seriously injured, and later died. The groom was saying that he had to go and bury his father. He couldn't have done that being seriously injured in the hospital.
