MALALA YOUSAFZAI
Pakistan called for a day of prayer on Friday in honor of 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai,
who is still fighting for her life after being shot in the head by the
Taliban earlier this week. Yousafzai was transferred to an
intensive-care unit at a military hospital in Rawalpindi, and doctors
say her progress over the next few days is “critical.” The Taliban
targeted Yousafzai for “promoting secularism” for her work advocating
for better schooling and girls’ rights. On Tuesday, two armed men
stopped a van packed with about a dozen schoolgirls and asked them which
one was Yousafzai. When she identified herself, he fired three shots,
hitting her in the head and injuring two others.
