In Pakistan, a 14-year-old schoolgirl who spoke out against the atrocities of militants in their former stronghold of Swat has been shot at by the Taliban.

Malala Yousufzai, the first recipient of Pakistan's National Peace Award for Youth, was hit by two bullets when militants fired at her inside a school bus at Mingora, the main town of Swat Valley. One bullet hit her in the head.

She has been airlifted to a military hospital in Peshawar. Two other girls were also injured.

Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan has claimed responsibility for the attack.

The US has strongly condemned the incident.
