Malala shot by Taliban

The Pakistani police have arrested three suspects, aged between 17 and 22 for the shooting of 14-year-old young activist Malala Yousafzai. The arrests were made in the remote Swat valley. The main man behind this attack, Attaullah is still out of reach. The Taliban gunmen shot Malala in the head on her way to school Tuesday. After the removal of a bullet from her skull yesterday, Malala is now able to move her arms and legs, though she is still under 24x7 observations. The Pakistani government has shifted Mala to a military hospital in Rawalpindi for better security and better treatment.

Malala had been receiving threats several times from the Talibans for writing a blog for the BBC to promote education for Muslim girls.
