Malala Yousafzai's 10 attackers sentenced to life in prison

A Pakistani Court today sentenced 10 Taliban militants accused of plotting the 2012 attack on Malala Yousafzai to life in prison. Although none of the 10 men were directly involved in the attack, but they played a role in it.

The young girl’s response to the attack and her continued campaigning for girls’ right to education saw her receive accolades from all over the world, and last year she received the Nobel Peace Prize in conjunction with the Indian rights activist Kailash Satyarthi.


"They certainly  had a role in the planning and execution of the assassination attempt on Malala," a police official said.
Police believe the gunman who shot Malala escaped across the border into Afghanistan.

Malala is now 17 and lives with her family in Birmingham in the UK.
