Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari has visited the British
hospital treating a 15-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot in the
head by a Taliban gunman, Radio Liberty reported.
Malala Yousafzai was airlifted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in
Birmingham after being shot at close range on a schoolbus in
Pakistan's northwest Swat Valley on October 9.
The Taliban targeted Malala for criticizing the militant group and
promoting the right of girls to attend school.
Zadari and his daughter, Asifa Bhutto, met on December 8 with
doctors treating Malala and held a five-minute meeting with the
teenager, her father, and two brothers.
In a statement issued by the hospital, Zadari called Malala a
"remarkable girl and a credit to Pakistan."
Malala suffered fractures to her skull and jawbone in the attack
but is said to be recovering "well."
