Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has claimed the responsibility of firing on Malala Yousafzai. Dr Shahid Masood recently wrote on his Twitter account, "EhsanUllah Ehsan,the TTP spokeman who threatened Malala yousaf Zai and her friends in March publicly should be arrested immediately."
Malala wrote in her diary for BBC that she exposed the suffering caused by the militants as they ruled. She said, "At that time some of us would go to school in plain clothes, not in school uniform, just to pretend we are not students, and we hid our books under our shawls.”

Malla Yusufzai said that there is a need to fight against the mindset which motivates people to kill innocent girls like Malala. “Malala was getting into her school bus after school when two gunmen opened fire on her, injuring her and one of her friends,” local police official Rasool Shah told AFP.
Unidentified men stopped the vehicle, asking if it was the transport from Khushal school. When told that it was, one man asked: "Where is Malalai?" As she was identified, the assailant reportedly drew a pistol and shot Malalai in the head and the neck. Her friend was shot in the hand.
