Earlier in the day, the Taliban had surrounded Afghanistan’s capital Kabul as the group and government officials were engaged in talks which resulted in an understanding among political factions, a new interim government would be reportedly established in the country.
On 9 October 2012, a Taliban gunman shot Malala Yousafzai as she rode home on a bus after taking an exam in Pakistan’s Swat Valley.
The activist and advocate for human rights was 15 years old at that time.
