Pakistani officials have offered a 10 million rupee ($105,000) reward for information, leading to the arrest of the attackers of a prominent teenage rights campaigner.



Fourteen-year-old Malala Yousafzai is recovering from surgery after being shot yesterday in the north-western Swat Valley.



The Taliban said they had shot her because she had promoted secularism, and that they would target her again.



Protests against the shooting have been held in several Pakistani cities.
