Pakistani youths shouts slogans during a protest against the assassination attempt by Taliban on child activist Malala Yousafzai in Lahore on October 15, 2012. A teenage Pakistani rights activist was flown to Britain for specialist long-term care on October 15 after being shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for the right to education. Malala Yousafzai, 14, who was attacked on her school bus in the former Taliban stronghold of the Swat valley last Tuesday, was sent abroad at a time when her condition is 'optimal and before any unforeseen complications set in', the military said.
