The Pakistani government has offered a Rs10 million ($105,000) bounty for the capture of the Pakistani Taliban assailants who fired on Malala Yousafzai. According to the latest updates, Mian Iftikhar Hussein, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa information minister, said he was declaring a bounty of $100,000 for the capture of the culprits in the attempt on Malala's life.
Main Iftihar said the names and identity of the citizens, who will be facilitating the law enforcement agencies, will be kept secret. Earlier, Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani strongly condemning the terrorist attack on Malala Yousafzai said we will not bow before terror and would fight regardless of the cost.
The army chief said the Taliban could go to any extent to follow their self-perceived ideology. According to ISPR, the COAS expressed these views during his visit to CMH Peshawar to oversee the treatment being given to Malala Yousafzai and meet her family members on Wednesday.
Pakistan’s Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Wednesday vowed to bring to justice the Taliban attackers behind the shooting of a 14-year-old child activist in a critical condition. Interior Minister Rehman Malik said Wednesday that Malala Yousafzai would not be sent abroad of treatment, adding that he was satisfied with the treatment given to her by Pakistani doctors.
Provincial minister of Information Mian Iftikhar said the doctors have started to feed Malala after improvement in her condition. The doctors monitoring the swelling caused by the bullet wound and she can be sent to Dubai for further medical treatment, the minister said.
Last night, a doctor at CMH told AFP that the bullet had travelled from her head and then lodged in the back shoulder, near the neck. “She is in the intensive care unit and semi-conscious, although not on the ventilator,” he told AFP on condition of anonymity because he is not authorised to speak to the media.
Malala Yousafzai was shot on her school bus with two friends in the former Taliban stronghold of Swat on Tuesday, then flown to the main northwestern city of Peshawar to be admitted to a military hospital. Malik informed reporters that neurosurgeons from London and the US were ready and would be called to Pakistan if the need arose.
The passport of Malala Yousufzai has been prepared and British and Dubai visas also issued, sources said. Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani visited the CMH on Wednesday to inquire on Malala’s condition. The country’s top military officer also issued a strongly-worded statement condemning the attack.
