Pakistan has arrested three suspects in the remote Swat Valley for the shooting of 14-year-old activist Malala Yousafzai. Police say the three men, aged 17 to 22, were involved in the attack, but that they all said the mastermind was a man Attaullah, who is still at large. Yousafzai was shot in the head on Tuesday on her way to school, in retaliation for her criticism of the Taliban. She was nominated for several peace awards after keeping a blog for the BBC that promoted education for young girls. Her father runs the small school that she attended and has received threats from terrorists in the region for years.

Doctors removed a bullet from Yousafzai's skull yesterday, and said she was able to move her arms and legs, though she is still in critical condition. Authorities moved her to a military hospital in the town of Rawalpindi.
