Malala Yousafzai's attackers are jailed for life by Pakistan court...

A court in Pakistan has reportedly sentenced 10 men for the attack on Malala Yousafzai, the education activist, to life in prison.

The men who are members of the Pakistani Taliban were responsible for the shooting of the then-15-year-old when she was on board her school bus in the Swat valley.

A court official confirmed the news to AFP: "Ten attackers who were involved in the attack on Malala Yousafzai have been sentenced to life imprisonment."

Militants boarded the teenage activist's school bus and shot her in the head in October 2012 for her outspoken views on girls' education, in an attack that also wounded two of her friends.

 Following her attack, she moved to Birmingham after she was sent to Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital in the immediate aftermath of the attack for surgery on her skull. Source...
