An attempt by the Taliban to kill a 14-year old girl, famous for speaking out against the Islamic militants and their attacks on girls’ education, has triggered a wave of national revulsion in Pakistan.
Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head and neck while she sat with classmates on a school bus as it prepared to drive students home after morning classes in Mingora, a city in the Swat Valley where major operations were conducted in 2009 to crush a Taliban insurgency. She was taken to hospital before being whisked by military helicopter to an intensive care ward in the city of Peshawar.

What is happening on the other side of the world? If a young teen on this side of the world spoke out about local issues, we would be supporting her not trying to assassinate her!
What a terribly sad article! I find it disgusting that kids cannot even have their freedom of speech in that country.
What is happening.. weren’t troops sent to rebuild the country how come welfare and child protection has not been built.
