ISLAMABAD, Sept. 12 (UPI) -- Those responsible for shooting Malala Yousafzai, the teenage education advocate who survived a Taliban assassination attempt in 2012, have been arrested.
Malala was attacked on October 9, 2012 as she returned home from school in Mingora, in the northwestern Swat District. She had become a target of the Taliban for her outspoken views on behalf of equal education rights for girls. Shot three times, she was in critical condition for days.
