Malala Yousufzai, the 15-year-old girl who
challenged the Taliban in Pakistan for women\'92s
education, has been nominated for the Nobel
Peace Prize. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

\cf3 \ul \ulc3 One India}} News looks back
at Yousufzai\'92s difficult path.\
\
\b \'93Because of her work to promote girls'
education, [the] Taliban attempted to assassinate
the teenager. Malala was shot in the head
and neck by the Taliban for demanding education
for women in her home country on October 9,
2012.\'94
\b0 \
\
Malala still has one final major surgery to
undergo. She will have a skull plate made
of titanium inserted on a hole in her skull.
This video from {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK
"http://abcnews.go.com/International/video/malala-yousafzais-surgery-building-skull-18348065"}}{\fldrslt
\cf3 \ul \ulc3 ABC}} demonstrates how the
procedure will work.\
\
Yousufzai was first targeted by the Taliban
after she started writing a blog in 2009 that
received worldwide attention. {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK

\cf3 \ul \ulc3 NBC}} reports Yousufzai\'92s
name was put forth on Friday by three members
of the Norwegian parliament because of...\
\
\b \'93...her courageous commitment to the
right of girls to education. A commitment
that seemed so threatening to the extremists
that they chose to try and kill her."

\
If Yousufzai were awarded the Nobel Peace
Prize, she would be the youngest recipient
ever and one of only 15 women awarded. For
some perspective, the average age of the 100
individuals who have received the Nobel Peace
Prize is 62. And the youngest winner was 32.\

According to the the {\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK
