Peshawar, Oct. 11 (ANI): Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik has claimed that the terrorists involved in the attack on 14-year-old peace activist Malala Yousafzai have been identified, and added that law enforcement agencies would arrest them as and when they enter the Swat region.
"We know when the terrorists had entered Swat," The Dawn quoted Malik, as saying. He, however, avoided disclosing names of the attackers.
Malala, who earned international fame for raising voice against Taliban oppression in Swat, was shot in the neck and head and two other girls sustained injuries when the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) opened fire on their school van in Swat valley, on Tuesday.
The TTP said they had shot her because she had "promoted secularism", and that they would target her again if she survives.
Malik further said that several people involved in money laundering were supporting the Taliban and the government would soon unveil the faces of the so-called 'white-collar' people living in the country.
"We have directed the State Bank to identify the faces so that an action against them could be taken at the earliest," he said. (ANI)
