LONDON — The father of a 15-year-old Pakistani girl shot in the head by the Taliban described his daughter’s survival and ongoing recovery as miraculous Friday, and said her shooting was a turning point for Pakistan.
Malala Yousufzai is recovering at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where she was flown for treatment and protection from Taliban threats after she was shot on Oct. 9 in northwestern Pakistan. The Islamist militants say they are targeting Malala because she promoted so-called Western thinking and secularism.

It's a good thing the girl wasn't raped. Then her father would have probably shot her himelf.
