ISLAMABAD – Nobel laureate and education activist Malala Yousufzai returned to her homeland early Thursday nearly six years after she left Pakistan following a Taliban attack to kill her.
In October 2012, Malala — then 15-years-old — was shot in the head at point-blank range by Taliban gunmen as she was returning from her school in Swat valley. She suffered bullet injuries and was admitted to the Military Hospital Peshawar and then taken to London for further treatment.
