Malala returns to Pakistan for first time since attack

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai has returned to Pakistan for the first time since Taliban militants shot her in 2012 for her advocacy of education for girls. Malala, who is now 20, was 15 when a Taliban gunman singled her out and shot her in the head. She was transported to the U.K. for treatment, and joined by her family, and has lived there since then. Her visit is to promote her foundation advocating education for girls in Pakistan. She was honoured by Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
