A 14-year-old Pakistani girl was deliberately shot in the head by a Taliban gunman.
Malala Yousafzai is fighting for her life after she was gunned down on her school bus, in response campgain for girls’ education and children’s rights.
A Taliban spokesman said the Islamist group carried out the attack after warning her to stop speaking against them.
The shooting occurred in broad daylight in Mingora, raising concerns about security, when three years ago, the army claimed to have crushed the Taliban insurgency there.
Malala received the first national peace from the Pakistani Government last year, and was recognised for exposing Taliban atrocities in her blog for the BBC.
The attack was condemned as cowardly and barbaric.
