Girl shot by Taliban plans to set up education fund

The Pakistani schoolgirl who survived assassination by the Taliban has said she is “getting better day by day”.

Malala Yousufzai, 15, underwent successful surgery on her skull and ear at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham at the weekend.

She escaped death by inches when she was shot on Oct 9 last year — as the bullet entered just above her left eye and ran along her jaw, “grazing” her brain.
