Pakistanis Pray for Teen Blogger Shot by Taliban; Condemn Brazen Attack
Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) — Perhaps it was the prayers of an outraged nation, perhaps her own indomitable spirit.
But Malala Yousufzai, the 14-year-old school girl sought out and shot by the Taliban for blogging against them, was slowly recuperating Wednesday morning from the brazen attack that almost snatched her young life.
Doctors successfully removed a bullet lodged in her neck after three hours of surgery, and said her condition was no longer critical.
“God willing, she will survive,” said Dr. Mumtaz Ali, a neurosurgeon who worked on Malala with three colleagues.
