Update on Malala's visit to Pakistan.

Accompanied by her parents, Malala was escorted through Islamabad's Benazir Bhutto International Airport under tight security, Malala was dressed in a Pakistani salwar kameez and had a dupatta covering her head.


She was smiling and looked happy as she was greeted at the airport. Her arrival and stay in Pakistan has been kept secret due to security threats.


But official sources said that she is expected to stay for four days and meet Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa. CEO of Malala Fund is also with her and she is expected to participate in the 'Meet the Malala' programme in Pakistan.


It is not known if she will travel to the Swat region in northwestern Pakistan where she lived and was attacked while returning from a school in October 2012 when she was 14 years old.


Severely wounded, Malala was taken by helicopter from one military hospital in Pakistan to another, where doctors placed her in a medically induced coma so an air ambulance could fly her to Great Britain for treatment.


After she was attacked, the Taliban released a statement saying that they would target her again if she survived.


At age 17, Malala became the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her education advocacy. Unable to return to Pakistan after her recovery, Malala moved to Britain, setting up the Malala Fund and supporting local education advocacy groups with a focus on Pakistan, Nigeria, Jordan, Syria and Kenya. She is currently studying at Oxford University.
