A US congresswoman shot in the head two weeks ago is moving to a Houston rehab centre today where her husband hopes she will continue on the path to a full recovery.

The 22-year-old man accused of trying to assassinate Representative Gabrielle Giffords in a deadly shooting rampage wrote “Die, bitch” in a note found at his home, a sheriff’s official said.

A nine-year old girl is among the dead as a US Congresswoman was attacked tonight.
