Malala is a 14 years old teenager from Pakistan. She has been writing a blog for BBC since 2009 to support girl's education in Pakistan and to denounce Taliban's threats and terrorism that are still happening in her town Mingora, in the Swat Valley, in the north west of Pakistan.
She was coming back from school when a man jumped into the bus, and asked other children to identify her. He then opened fire and two other girls have been injured.
A Taliban spokes man said "We do not tolerate people like Malala speaking against us," and added that they would come for her again if she survived.
She has been transfered to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmimgham the 15th of October to receive emergency care and she is now stable.
The Taliban General Jihad Yar said that killing Malala was legitimate "We don't have any regret for what happened to Malala, she was becoming the symbol of western ideas and to eliminate her was the good decision to make"
He also said that her case was not important and that "Journalists never talk about the dozens of little girls killed by American drones in Afghanistan"(Big Browser/Le monde)
What happened to Malala is very serious and I admire her for standing for her ideas and fighting for her rights even when she knew that she could die for that.
She is a girl like me, writing a blog like me , and sharing her ideas like me. The only thing that differentiate us is that I grew up in a country with Freedom of Speech and where education is authorized even mandatory until the age of 16 .
Everyone on this planet, boy or girl should have the right to go to school and educate themselves. Because we, young people are the future of this world.
Malala became the symbol of this battle for education and she has all my respect for everything she achieved.
