BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom – A 14-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for the right to an education arrived in Britain on Monday to be treated at a specialist hospital.
A spokeswoman for Birmingham Airport in central England said a plane carrying Malala Yousafzai, who was attacked on her school bus in the former Taliban stronghold of the Swat valley last Tuesday, touched down at 3:50pm (1450 GMT).
She will be cared for at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where British servicemen who are seriously wounded in Afghanistan are treated.
Malala had left Islamabad airport after daybreak on board an air ambulance provided by the United Arab Emirates.
The shooting has been denounced across the world and Pakistan has said it will do everything possible to ensure Malala recovers.
Malala came to prominence with a blog for the BBC highlighting atrocities under the Taliban, who terrorised the Swat valley from 2007 until an army offensive in 2009. – Agence France-Presse
