World
The 14-year-old Pakistani girl who was targeted and nearly killed by the Taliban for supporting education for girls has been flown to the United Kingdom for medical treatment, ABC News reports.
Malala Yousufzai, the schoolgirl whose shooting galvanized an unprecedented wave of condemnation against the Taliban, was transported on an air ambulance donated by the United Arab Emirates early this morning. The flight took off from a military air base in Rawalpindi and made a refueling stop in the UAE before continuing on to the United Kingdom, according to Pakistani military officials.
A senior Pakistani source in the United Kingdom says Malala will be treated at a hospital in Birmingham, England. The Pakistani government has said it will pay for all hospital expenses.
