Malala Yousufzai arrived in Pakistan early Thursday after spending years outside the country following a failed assassination attempt by Taliban.
Malala, who shot to fame with her pen name ‘Gul Makai’ was shot at in the head at point-blank range, when she was 15, by Taliban gunmen as she was returning from her school in Swat valley on 9 October 2012.
She suffered bullet injuries and was admitted to the Military Hospital Peshawar and then taken to London for further treatment.
