Pakistan: Bounty offered in Pakistan activist shooting

The Pakistani government has offered a Rs10 million ($105,000) bounty for the capture of the Pakistani Taliban gunmen who attacked Malala Yousafzai, a teenage rights and education activist in the northwestern Swat Valley, officials say.

Yousafzai, a 14-year-old schoolgirl, was shot in the head and neck on Tuesday, and has since undergone surgery to remove a bullet lodged in her skull.

Mian Iftikhar Hussain, the information minister of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, told Al Jazeera on Wednesday that Yousafzai had been sedated following her surgery, and that doctors would reasses her condition in 48 hours.
