• An update on Malala Yousafzai

     

    If you recall, Malala Yousafzai is a 14 year old girl who was shot in Pakistan for wanting an education. Three suspects have been arrested. Specifically:

    Pakistan has arrested three suspects in the remote Swat Valley for the shooting of 14-year-old activist Malala Yousafzai. Police say the three men, aged 17 to 22, were involved in the attack, but that they all said the mastermind was a man Attaullah, who is still at large. Yousafzai was shot in the head on Tuesday on her way to school, in retaliation for her criticism of the Taliban. She was nominated for several peace awards after keeping a blog for the BBC that promoted education for young girls. Her father runs the small school that she attended and has received threats from terrorists in the region for years.

    It sounds like Malala is able to move her arms and legs but she’s still in critical condition. I’m looking forward to watching this story unfold further.
