Pakistan teen shot by Taliban - Oct 9,2012
Gunmen have shot and wounded a 14-year-old Pakistani girl, Malala Yousafzai apparently in
retaliation for her campaign to expose Taliban brutality by documenting
their campaign of violence on an anonymous blog.
Malala Yousafzai was on her way home from school in the former Taliban
stronghold of Swat when two men opened fire, shooting her in the forehead
and injuring a friend.
Witnesses said a bearded man had asked for the girl by name before opening
fire.
Her work earned her international recognition and numerous peace awards after
she was revealed as Gul Makai, the brave seventh grader who wrote a blog for
the BBC’s Urdu service when the Taliban controlled Swat in 2009.
The shooting has shocked Pakistan, a nation long hardened to sickening acts of
violence.
Shot Pakistan girl successfully operated on
Pakistani doctors have operated successfully to remove a bullet on Wednesday Oct 10,2012 from Malala Yousafzai shot by the Taliban for speaking out against Islamic
extremism.
Doctors said they were forced to begin operating in the early hours of the
morning after Malala developed swelling in the left portion of her brain.
She is still unconscious and kept in the intensive care unit,” said Mumtaz
Khan, head of a panel of doctors taking care of Malala in a military
hospital in the north-western city of Peshawar.
Family of girl shot by Taliban say daughter will not be silenced
