Arrests made in shooting of Pakistani schoolgirl Malala
[Updated at 5:55 a.m. ET] Six people have been arrested in connection with the shooting of Malala Yousufzai, the teenage activist who spoke out against the Taliban, though the main suspect still is on the loose, Pakistani police told CNN exclusively.
Police on Wednesday identified Atta Ullah Khan, a 23-year-old from the Swat district where Malala was attacked, as the main suspect. Authorities are searching for Khan, who was studying for a master's degree in chemistry, police say. The Taliban-heavy Swat Valley is in the northwestern part of Pakistan.
Six men accused of facilitating the attack were arrested, police said Wednesday. Also detained were Khan's fiancée, mother and brother, though they aren't accused of involvement in the attack, police said.
It's unclear whether Khan was at the scene and tried to shoot Malala or if he was considered the leader behind the plan to kill her.
Malala, who has become a global symbol of courage after being shot in the head by the Taliban for demanding education for girls, is currently receiving treatment at a hospital in Birmingham, England.
She stood with the aid of nurses Friday for the first time since the October 9 shooting and was "communicating very freely," according to the director of the hospital. Malala can't speak because she has a tracheotomy tube inserted to protect her airway, which was swollen after her gunshot injury, but she is writing coherent sentences, said Dave Rosser, director of University Hospitals Birmingham.
Friday's progress report - more detailed than previous updates - suggests that the 15-year-old could make a good recovery.
The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the shooting and vowed to kill Malala if she recovers from her injuries.

Please do something for the humankind! ERASE HIM FROM EARTH
Agreed...
But I have a better idea. Let's photoshop images of him in a burka – and post them all over the world.
Shame him into returning home and facing the consequences of his actions.
Is Mitt and the republicans in control of the Pakistan government? Only they could conduct an investigation that involved a group of men getting on a school bus, and shooting a girl point blank in the head, and conclude that it was the fault of a mother and girlfriend.
It's funny because its true lol
Way to make a (crappy) political joke out of the near murder of a 14 year old girl as part of a terror campaign to keep an entire gender locked firmly in a state of societal oppression. Good job!
Woman and girls have right to education men just dont want us smart
That is absolutely correct; Women are not supposed to have a sense of humour either, since they are supposed to love men and not laugh at them.
Even with an education your still a dumb slag. All the books in the world can't fix stupidity caused by estrogen. I can literally beat the living crap out of my ole lady and she will still be with me. Defend me even. No education will fix that, I'm afraid. Besides, why even bother its not like you will make the same wage as me because I'm male.... I guess the old saying is true: "you get what you pay for"
Educated women scare most men.
Uneducated Women, or Men, for that matter, scare me far more than educated ones. At least I can have a conversation with an educated person and have the possibility of coming away with a compromise that suits both our interests.
whats there to be afraid of? Once you get knocked up, there goes your career. Once you hit the job site you will shag your boss just to move up the ladder. Women on the job are SHlT disturbers that is all. They have nothing innovative to contribute.
This tragic incident is not as simple. I have sympathy with this child who start advocating for women rights at the age of 11. Meanwhile i also believe some responsibility also come on his parents (specially her father) and the international news channels ( BBC for posting her daily dairy) which deliberately want to use her as young innocent against the world most brutal warriors the TALIBAN.
I wish a time will come in my life when i will see the price of every innocent life as equal to this little girl of Malala Yousefzai.
She neds justice
She is goin to need a new place to live you think she has even the slightest chance for survival if she goes back? I guarantee you The Taliban will finish the job. Sure they are just waiting for the troops to pull out of Afghanistan so they can get back into power. Then back to square one again.
Hey mister Taliban gun men! Allah pukes when he hears your name, and when your worthless lives are over he's going to kick your filthy coward but for abusing his holy creation.
I just don't understand an article I read which said that the father and family couldn't possibly have seen this coming. I find that incredible. He is an educated man and surely was not blind to the behavior of the Taliban.
everything has price, freedom is so important included education, (darkness is easier to manage), taliban can not win like Hitler cold not.
Yes freedom does have a price your still paying for yours and you haven't even received it yet.
There lies the joke that is America.
these suspects are heros of Islam. They are moderate Muslim student peace activists.
Everybody seems to ignore the positive side of this event in that it will prepare Malala for Islamic marriage
Shooting children should not be anyone's definition of "Moderate".
And you can be absolutely sure they'll give these Taliban pigs a very stiff fine, maybe 10 or 12 dollars.
Afterall, according to the Taliban, the Muslims & the Romneys wi'men don't matter, there's plenty more out there.
Not all Muslims hate women, but we sure know where Taliban and Romney stand don't we. Time for moderates and righteous people everywhere to stand up against these criminals.
More like a pat on the back for trying.
Pakistan is married to the Taliban not America.
Exactly. Plus I read in articles how the father is all for his daughter to go the school but his wife isn't allowed to leave the house. Hmmmm something doesn't add up here. He seems to be trying to look like the good guy here and hes just a hypocrite.
This incident will change nothing. Just like the joke:
How many feminists it take to change a lite bulb?
NONE BECAUSE FEMINISTS CHANGE NOTHING LMAO!!!!!!!!!
What this tells me is that the US taxpayers have spent well into the trillions of dollars for ZERO gains. Take the gloves off, let our soldiers do their jobs, then bring them home. That's it. Enough. My taxes are part of the funding and I'm sick of this crap. Eradicate the Taliban and any country's government harboring them. Now. Stop the namby-pamby crap.
How many more soldiers must die for this lost cause? Really? How many more. Once they pack up and leave it all goes back to the way things were. I don't think that this girl is the one who needs an education. It's you.
feel better!
