Malala Yousufzai Moved to Military Hospital

After surviving an assassination attempt, by the Taliban, on Tuesday, Malala Yousufzai, fourteen, was moved to a military hospital, on Thursday.

Officials felt the move was necessary in order to ensure her protection, from any other possible attempts.

She is listed as back in critical condition, but doctors were able to remove a bullet from her, on Wednesday.

Her attackers have been identified and the government has put a ten million rupee reward for their capture.

The other two girls, who were wounded in the attack, are still in the hospital, with one of them still in critical condition.

At the age of eleven Yousufzai began secretly blogging against the Taliban, after they took over her part of the country, and closed schools for girls.

After the military recaptured her town, she began speaking against the Taliban, in public, focusing on women's rights, especially education.

Yousufzai had become a national hero for her stance against the terrorist organization, and the attack on here has garnered a huge outcry from the public.
