Malala Yousafzai opens new library in Birmingham and declares: 'books will defeat terrorism'
A teenager who survived being shot by Islamic extremists after she campaigned for women's education rights has opened Europe's largest public library where she defiantly declared: "pens and books are the weapons that will defeat terrorism."
Malala Yousafzai made the inspirational speech as she officially opened Birmingham's brand new £188 million library - 11 months after she was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman.
The 16-year-old was flown to the UK after a hit-man barged onto her school bus in Pakistan and fired at her at point blank range in October last year.
She was targeted after she heroically spoke out against the regime and called for greater women's rights despite Islamic fundamentalists trying to impose a strict form of sharia law in the country.
The schoolgirl survived the assassination attempt and was treated at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
The inspirational youngster has remained in the city ever since where she has made a remarkable recovery and now attends a local school.
