Ehsanullah Ehsan, chief spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that Yousafzai "is the symbol of the infidels and obscenity", adding that if she survived, the group would target her again.

After the shooting, Yousafzai was airlifted to a military hospital in Peshawar, where doctors were forced to operate after swelling developed in the left portion of her brain, which had been damaged by the bullet when it passed through her head.The Pakistani Taliban also justified its attack as part of religious scripture, stating that the Quran says that "people propagating against Islam and Islamic forces would be killed", going on to say that " Sharia says that even a child can be killed if he is propagating against Islam". Yousafzai is a human rights advocate for the education of women and children in her native homeland, Swat, where the Pakistani Taliban had at times banned girls from attending school.

No further surgery is said to be required - her face should continue to improve over time, with the help of physiotherapy.It's a mountainous place, cool in summer and snowy in winter, within easy reach of the capital, Islamabad. In November 2012, the consulting firm Edelman began work for Yousafzai on a pro bono basis, which according to the firm "involves providing a press office function for Malala". Considering Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Barack Obama, and Benazir Bhutto as her role models, [9] she was also inspired by her father's thoughts and humanitarian work. I think it probably did have an emotional impact on her, which she didn't really voice to anyone, but it's very easy to understand in a 15-year-old.
