Malala Yousufzai injured in gun attack on school van in Swat

PESHAWAR: National Peace Award winner and young Pakistani rights activist Malala Yousufzai and another girl were injured in an attack on their school van by unidentified gunmen on Tuesday, DawnNews reported.

Malala was returning home from her school in Swat’s Mingora area when her van was attacked by unknown men.

Certain media outlets reported that the gunmen attacked the van on identifying the young human rights activist.

Sources said Malala was hit by couple of bullets to her neck.

Both injured girls were taken to the Saidu Sharif Hospital. According to doctors, Malala was now out of danger.

The incident spread fear and panic among the local residents.

Yousafzai is 15 years of age and has already earned international fame for raising voice against Taliban oppression in Swat.

She was honoured with a National Peace Award last year for being an inspiration to her friends by standing up against repression as her namesake did in Afghanistan in the 19th century.

Malala became the voice of all the girls in Swat when she began maintaining a diary on the website of the BBC under the pen name of “Gul Makai.”
