SHE HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE U.K. |
Malala,
who spoke against the Taliban, was shot in the head on October 9, 2012.
The
police identified Atta Ullah Khan, a 23-year-old man from the Swat
district, as the primary suspect.
The police said they were tracing down Khan,
who was a student of a master’s degree in chemistry. He had studied for his Bachelor of Science degree in physics at Jahanzeb College
in Swat.
The
school’s principal, Alam Zeb, said that Khan had given school officials three
or four dates of birth. While condemning the attack, Zeb said that he was
surprised to hear that a former student of the college may have been involved.
In
addition to arresting six men — all of them from Swat – the police also
arrested Khan’s mother, brother and fiancĂ©e, CNN reported.
A senior official told CNN that the suspect’s relatives were not
accused of involvement.
The
official did clarify Khan’s role in the shooting.
Malala had come under attack when she was on
her way home from school. The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) spokesperson
Eshanullah Ehsan had claimed that the militant group was behind the attack.
