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.
