Malala in Pakistan to attend girls edu meet

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai said she was "overwhelmed" to be back in her native Pakistan yesterday, as she attended a summit on girls' education in the Islamic world that has been snubbed by Afghanistan's Taliban government.

The summit has brought together education leaders from Muslim-majority countries, but without Afghanistan -- the only country in the world where girls are banned from school.
