London: Pakistani teenage rights activist Malala Yousufzai, in a serious condition after being shot in the head by the Taliban, has a "good chance of recovery", British doctors said Tuesday.
14-year-old Malala was secretly transferred to Britain from Pakistan in an air ambulance yesterday for specialist treatment, including the repair of damaged bones of her skull.
She is admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham here, which has a specialist major trauma centre where British servicemen who are seriously wounded in Afghanistan are treated.
"Doctors believe she has a chance of making a good recovery on every level," said Dr Dave Rosser, the hospital's medical director. Malala's treatment and rehabilitation could take months, he told reporters at the hospital.
"Clearly it would be inappropriate on every level, not least for her, to put her through all of this if there was no hope of decent recovery," he said.
Dr Rosser said that specialists at the hospital were "in a good position to treat her" because they had 10 years of experience in treating UK military casualties - and her condition was much the same as a "battle casualty from a physiological point of view".
Malala and two schoolmates were shot by the Taliban in her hometown of Mingora in the Swat Valley last Tuesday. She was targeted because she spoke out against the Taliban and campaigned for girls' education.
Once Malala recovers sufficiently, it is believed she will need neurological help as well as treatment to repair or replace damaged bones in her skull.
Doctors have already carried out a series of tests on the teenager and a hospital spokeswoman told the BBC they hoped to give an update on her condition later today.

Filmmaker: Adam Ellick
On October 9, 2012, masked gunmen ambushed a van carrying schoolgirls home in Pakistan's Swat Valley. They shot 14-year-old Malala Yousafzai at point blank range in the head and neck leaving her in critical condition.
The Taliban in Pakistan claimed responsibility for the attack and vowed to "finish the chapter" in Malala's story.
Bringing an end to education for girls has long been one of their goals. The young activist was only 11 when she first stood up to the Taliban and despite numerous threats she continued to speak out against them.
This documentary filmed in 2009 follows the journey of Malala and her father as the deteriorating security situation forces them to leave not just their home in Swat Valley but their life's passion.
Due to the Taliban restrictions on education for girls, Malala is stripped of her education and her father loses his livelihood he runs a well-respected girls' school.
Filmmaker Adam Ellick travels with the family as they flee Swat and try to find safety. And he is still filming with them when the situation improves after a major assault by the Pakistani army and they are able to return not knowing what they will find.
Through the eyes of this articulate and engaging schoolgirl we see the devastation wrought on schools, towns and people alike by the struggle for the souls of the people of the Swat Valley.
This episode of Witness first aired in 2010.

Taliban says its attack on Pakistani schoolgirl justified
Reuters – 33 mins ago
Reuters/Reuters - A student holds a placard with a picture of schoolgirl Malala Yousufzai, who was shot on October 9 by the Taliban, during a rally in Lahore October 16, 2012. REUTERS/Mohsin Raza
ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Taliban insurgents said on Tuesday that the Pakistani schoolgirl its gunmen shot in the head deserved to die because she had spoken out against the group and praised U.S. President Barack Obama.
Malala Yousufzai, 14, was flown to Britain on Monday, where doctors said she has every chance of making a "good recovery".
The attack on Yousufzai, who had been advocating education for girls, drew widespread condemnation.
Pakistani surgeons removed a bullet from near her spinal cord during a three-hour operation the day after the attack last week, but she now needs intensive specialist follow-up care.
Authorities have said they have made several arrests in connection with the case but have given no details.
Pakistan's Taliban described Yousufzai as a "spy of the West".
"For this espionage, infidels gave her awards and rewards. And Islam orders killing of those who are spying for enemies," the group said in a statement.
"She used to propagate against mujahideen (holy warriors) to defame (the) Taliban. The Quran says that people propagating against Islam and Islamic forces would be killed.
"We targeted her because she would speak against the Taliban while sitting with shameless strangers and idealized the biggest enemy of Islam, Barack Obama."
Yousufzai, a cheerful schoolgirl who had wanted to become a doctor before agreeing to her father's wishes that she strive to be a politician, has become a potent symbol of resistance against the Taliban's efforts to deprive girls of an education.
Pakistanis have held some protests and candlelight vigils but most government officials have refrained from publicly criticizing the Taliban by name over the attack, in what critics say is a lack of resolve against extremism.
"We did not attack her for raising voice for education. We targeted her for opposing mujahideen and their war," said the Taliban. "Shariah (Islamic law) says that even a child can be killed if he is propagating against Islam."

DAWN
ISLAMABAD: Soon after the unconscious teenage activist, Malala Yousufzai, flew out of the country for treatment in the United Kingdom, all the hype about long anticipated North Waziristan operation surreptitiously began to dissipate.
Expediencies, both on civilian and military side, emerged as the roadblock to any major operation for clearing North Waziristan home to a variety of terrorist groups where the army had all through the decade of war on terror avoided going on one pretext or the other.
But, strikingly the military looked to be passing the buck for the crunch time dithering to the civilian leadership.
Talking to journalists on Monday, Interior Minister Rehman Malik conceded that no operation in the area was being planned.
His response followed militarys statement over the weekend that a political decision was needed to launch the offensive for dislodging Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TPP) and its local affiliates from their headquarters in the tribal agency, where they moved in 2007 after being targeted by the army in South Waziristan and elsewhere in Fata.
The army, while putting the ball in the civilian leaderships court, had noted that its commanders had time and again reiterated their resolve to rid the country of the menace. No mention, however, was made to the longstanding stance of the army that it would enter North Waziristan at a time of its own choosing or whether the moment had arrived.
Back to back statements by Army Chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, after Malala shooting, on carrying on the fight against terrorism were taken as a pointer to a looming operation in Waziristan.
What missed everyones sight while reading the armys new found resoluteness was that beyond the rhetoric timed to match the national angst, nothing was said of the armys assessment of the situation crossing the threshold.
Erroneous as it may be, the obvious inference drawn from the arising situation is that the government ultimately balked at the proposal for going all out against virulent militant groups holed up in North Waziristan.
Sceptics, however, say the military didnt at any stage unequivocally indicated that North Waziristan operation was inevitable.
Had it done so everyone would have fallen in line, they observed and pointed to previous military offensives in Swat, Bajaur and elsewhere.
The governments disclosure that it wasnt contemplating North Waziristan operation coincided with a resolute fightback by the right wingers to regain the space lost due to sudden outpouring of sympathy for Malala after the TTP attacked her in Mingora last Tuesday.
Military-backed groups like Difa-i-Pakistan Council, which had been hibernating since the impasse over Nato supply routes was resolved in July, suddenly sprung back into action to oppose the proposed military operation. Some analysts believe that the DPCs return itself suggested that either there were differences within the army on the issue or the army through its tough statements only meant to mollify revulsion against Taliban.
A military commander, who previously served in the region, insisted that it was only the political will that was lacking and there were no other operational obstacles.
He pointed out that despite overwhelming grief and anger over the assassination bid on Malala, a national consensus could not be achieved.
Its not only about the operation. There have to be large number of IDPs (internally displaced persons) and other implications for which there should be clear political backing.
Asked what was preventing the political parties from agreeing on the military operation, he said it were only the political expediencies. You know we are into the election year and no political party wants to hurt its prospects.
He emphasised that once the political decision is in place other challenges could be addressed.
The army, which for long avoided taking on militants in North Waziristan because of strategic compulsions, doesnt want to be seen as obstructing the operation in view of the worlds anti-terror resolve.
In addition to TTP, which is based in and around Mirali, and Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, North Waziristan plays host to Haqqani Network, Al Qaeda and a number of other foreign fighters mostly from Arab and Central Asian countries.

Leave the girl alone , stop playing dirty politics while she's in a critical condition fighting for her life !
As for Imran Khan and other religious parties , they have lost all credibility for opposing any military action against these scum bags psychopaths and who still think these Taliban are some who can be negotiated with !

What bravery would it be if he risked other people's lives?
Anyway Imran Khan has condemned terrorism many times.
What hes talking about here is not starting a movement against them as that would lose focus of PTI.
They are outlaws, and the government is officially not outlaw but should be.
Movements can only be done against people who are in control of the law.

Imran Khan is a coward and a hypocrite. The 14 year old fighting for her life has more clarity and courage than 10 Imran Khans put together. One would think it would be easy for him to condemn' these terrorists or 'outlaws' as you put it. But no, he wants to negotiate with these stone age thugs! His attitude is both disingenous and spineless. Imran Khan is not fit to lead a political party let alone a country. What a disgrace!

Being a popular athlete means you a good entertainer and does not connote any courage. Perhaps it's time to think of IK this way once more.

Bogus relatives turned away from UK hospital treating Malala
AFP | 6 hours ago
LONDON: Several people claiming to be relatives of Malala Yousufzai, the 14-year-old Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban, tried to enter the British hospital where she was being treated, an official said Tuesday.
The medical director of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham where Malala is in intensive care stressed that the incidents did not create any security concerns and police said nobody was arrested.
We have had some, I guess I would say, irritating incidents overnight and I understand that a number of people have been arrested but there are no security concerns, hospital medical director David Rosser told journalists.
I understand that a number of people turned up claiming to be members of Malalas family which we dont believe to be true and have been arrested.
However a police spokeswoman denied that any arrests were made.
We are investigating what happened but I can confirm that there were no arrests, the spokeswoman for West Midlands Police told AFP.
The teenager spent a comfortable first night in the hospital, Rosser said, after she arrived in Birmingham in central England on a flight from Pakistan on Monday.
In an attack which outraged the world, Malala was shot on a school bus in the former Taliban stronghold of the Swat valley last Tuesday as a punishment for campaigning for the right to an education.

I hope she remains safe & gets well soon!
