14-Year-Old Female Blogger Shot In The Head By The Taliban Flown To Britain For Treatment


14-year-old female blogger, Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head and neck by the Taliban in Pakistan, has been flown to Britain for medical treatment, at the expense of the Pakistani government. The young girl dared to write that females in Pakistan are entitled to an education, which enraged the terrorist group, who hired 3 men to ambush her school bush, riddling the vehicle with bullets. Two of Yousafzai's classmates were inured in the attack.

What is this world coming to that a person can get shot for their beliefs. However, in doing so, the Taliban has drawn international attention to Yousafzai plight and that of women in Pakistan, which also resulted in thousands holding a domestic rally for the critically injured girl. She is being treated in Birmingham, England and doctors are hopeful she will make a recovery. The teen's supporters want her to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. As stated on the site last week, Yousafzai and her family should be granted asylum in another nation. Britain would be a good choice.
