Malala security increased in UK over threats
A supply advised: “Her life’s been in danger since that failed homicide try”.
The guards, who will be deputed round the clock, have been tasked to protect the teenager because spy chiefs warn that threats against her have been growing.
“Being a Nobel victor and female education campaigner means she is seen as a global ambassador. Her elite police protection reflects this”, the source said.
The reports come just four months after Pakistani officials confirmed in April that ten suspects who were all part of the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan were found guilty of contributing to the “planning and execution” of the assassination attempt against Malala.
Nevertheless, in June it emerged that exclusively two of the suspects have been truly convicted and jailed.
It’s hard to believe that three years ago girls’ education advocate Malala Yousafzai’s life was hanging in the balance after being shot in the head by the Taliban. She was shot as she and her buddies travelled to high school on a bus her residence city of Mingora.
Malala, however, survived the attack. Following her recovery she and her family resettled in Birmingham, England, where Yousafzai now lives and studies in a private girls’ school.
On Thursday, she showed she is as intelligent as she is courageous – scoring a string of A*s and As in her GCSEs. As a result of her humanitarian efforts, Malala won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, becoming the youngest person to receive the award.
“Nothing that Malala Yousafzai achieves seems startling any more but she continues to make Pakistan proud”, the Express Tribune, an English-language Pakistani newspaper, reported. On her 18th birthday, she urged all world leaders to decide on “books over bullets” by offering 12 years of free schooling to each woman.
