Malala Yousafzai Leaves Hospital
Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl activist shot in the head by the Taliban, has been discharged from a Birmingham hospital as an inpatient.
The 15-year-old was being treated at Queen Elizabeth Hospital (QEHB) after being transferred following the attack in October.
The Taliban said it shot Malala, a campaigner for girls' education, for "promoting secularism".
Malala was returning home from school in the north-western Swat district on 9 October when gunmen stopped her vehicle and shot her in the head and the chest.
The teenager was flown to the hospital in Birmingham to receive specialist treatment.
She will continue rehabilitation at her family's temporary West Midlands home.
