10 get life for Malala Yousafzai attack

A court in north-west Pakistan has jailed 10 men for life for the 2012 gun attack on education activist Malala Yousafzai, media reports say.

Yousafzai, who was 15 at the time, was shot in the head on board her school bus in the Swat valley.

She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for campaigning for children's rights, despite the risk to her life.

Officials say the 10 men, who do not include the man named as chief suspect, belonged to the Pakistani Taliban.

Ataullah Khan, a 23-year-old militant, was identified by a police report at the time of the shooting - but he did not appear in the list of 10 men convicted on Thursday.

Malala, now 17, has recovered from her injuries and lives in Birmingham in the UK with her family.
