The Pakistani army announced Friday it
had arrested the gunmen who tried to kill
schoolgirl activist Malala Yousafzai in 2012.
The teenage campaigner for the right of
all children to an education recovered
after she was shot in the head by Taliban
gunmen. Ten men were detained during a
joint operation involving army, police and
intelligence agencies, AFP said. It came as
part of the Pakistani military’s ongoing
offensive against the Tehreek-e-Taliban
Pakistan (TTP) and other militants. The
group was part of the TTP and the plan to
kill Malala came from network's current
leader Maulana Fazlullah, Major General
Asim Bajwa said.

The teenage activist was shot in the
head by Taliban gunmen but
recovered and went on to earn
international plaudits for her fight for
the right of all children to an
education.
The detention of the 10 men, a joint
operation involving army, police and
intelligence agencies, came as part of
the Pakistani military's ongoing
offensive against the Tehreek-e-
Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and other
extremist outfits.
"The group involved in the attack on
Malala Yousafzai has been arrested,"
Major General Asim Bajwa told a news
conference on Friday.
He said the group was part of the TTP
and the plan to kill Malala came from
network's current leader Maulana
Fazlullah.
After narrowly surviving the
assassination bid, Malala was taken to
Britain with her family for treatment,
where she now lives.
Her courageous recovery has made
her a global figure - she won the EU's
prestigious Sakharov human rights
prize last year and was nominated for
the Nobel Peace Prize.
An address she gave to the United
Nations General Assembly in July last
year, in which she vowed she would
never be silenced, earned her a
standing ovation.
Malala first rose to prominence in
2009, aged just 11, with a blog for the
BBC Urdu service chronicling life
under Taliban rule in Swat, the
beautiful valley in northwestern
Pakistan where she lived.
