Taliban attack a 14-year old in Pakistan

It is hard to believe that men armed with sophisticated weapons would be afraid of a 14-year old. The 14-year old Malala was shot in the head by the Taliban on her way back from school. Malala Yousafzai has been the most vocal supporter of equal education rights for girls in Pakistan.

I spoke with Steve Paikin in Toronto, Canada, about what the attack on Malala meant for Pakistan. The interview can be watched here.
