Malala Yusufzai’s update

PESHAWAR: Doctors have successfully removed the bullet which pierced Malala Yusufzai’s head and was then lodged in her shoulder.

Surgeon Professor Dr. Mumtaz talking to Geo News said that an operation was conducted at 2:00 AM that continued until 5:00 AM.
Dr. Mumtaz said that Malala’s condition was expected to improve, however she was still unconscious.
A medical board comprising of senior neurosurgeons at the CMH was assessing her condition but according to Interior Minister Rehman Malik the decision to send Malala abroad for treatment had been postponed.
Sources add that Malala has been issued visas for Dubai and Britain while her father’s passport has also been extended.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister, Mian Iftikhar while speaking to Geo News said that Malala is out of critical condition.
Malala was shot outside her school in Swat on Tuesday and was later flown to the Combined Military Hospital where her condition was described as critical. Malala won international recognition for highlighting Taliban atrocities in Swat with a three years ago, when militants led by radical cleric Maulana Fazlullah burned girls' schools and terrorised the valley.
Her struggle resonated with tens of thousands of girls who were being denied an education by militants across northwest Pakistan, where the government has been fighting local Taliban since 2007.
She received the first-ever national peace award from the Pakistani government last year, and was nominated for the International Children's Peace Prize by advocacy group Kids Rights Foundation in 2011.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed the attack in a series of telephone calls to reporters and then issued a strongly-worded statement justifying the attack on a child on the grounds that Malala had preached secularism "and so-called enlightened moderation".
