Two Taliban were responsible

The two gunmen who tried to assassinate this week Malala Yousufzai received specific instructions directly from one of the most feared leaders of the Pakistani Taliban movement, Maulana Fazlullah. The operation was however not a military officer, a politician or a Western diplomat, but a young girl who had drawn the wrath of the Taliban openly advocating for education in the West. The story begins in 2009, when Fazlullah, known by the nickname "Mullah Radio" for his fiery interventions on the airwaves again with his men Swat and ordered the closure of girls' schools, including that of Malala Yousufzai. Outraged, the girl then aged 11 takes the pen and writes a blog for the BBC under an assumed name, before launching a campaign for girls' education. Schoolgirl becomes the target of the Taliban, who try to intimidate by filing several bodies near the homes of family members in Mingora. "I heard my father speak of three new bodies lying at Green Chowk," she wrote in her diary then. Fazlullah of Swat is dislodged in 2009 after a Pakistani army offensive, but his men find refuge beyond the Afghan border, where they continue to operate in Pakistani territory - they claimed at the beginning of the summer the kidnapping and beheading of 17 soldiers. Despite the danger, Malala Yousufzai continues to speak. Fazlullah attempt yet to silence, dragging death threats under his door. In vain. "WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO KILL" She should have shut up: this is how the Taliban justify the assassination attempt she suffered Tuesday, although tribal code prohibits the killing of women. "We had no intention to kill but have since been forced would not stop," said Sirajuddin Ahmad, a spokesman for the Taliban in Swat, who found refuge in the Afghan province of Kunar. The decision to kill the girl was taken several months ago, at a meeting of Taliban says it. Among the hundred fighters specialized in assassinations, two men are then selected. Between 20 and 30 years, two men from the Swat Valley in the past have proven their value in the eyes of the Taliban by assassinating a member of the political opposition and attacking a hotel. On Tuesday, two men intercepted the bus in which is Malala and despite the support of his friends frightened, trying to hide it, the men shot him, hitting and seriously leaving unconscious. Two of his comrades are also affected. Malala failed to kill - the prognosis of the girl transferred from Peshawar to Rawalpindi, has always been committed - the Taliban now attack his father, Ziauddin Yousufzai, director of a school for girls, prevents Sirajuddin Ahmad. "Our position is clear: Anyone who takes advantage of the government against us must die at our hands," warned the Taliban. "You see, significant others will soon be victims."
