Taliban gunmen in Pakistan shot and seriously wounded a 14-year-old schoolgirl who rose to fame for speaking out against the militants.
Malala Yousufzai was shot in the head and neck when gunmen fired on her school bus in the Swat valley, north-west of the capital, Islamabad. Two other girls were also wounded.
Ms Yousufzai spoke out against the Pakistani Taliban at a time when even the Government seemed to be appeasing the hardliners.
