Girl shot by Taliban undergoes 2 operations in England

LONDON — A Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot in the head by the Taliban is in stable condition after undergoing two successful operations to reconstruct her skull and restore her hearing, the British hospital treating her said Sunday.

Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital said doctors for 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai, who was targeted for advocating girls’ education, were ‘‘very pleased’’ with her progress after five hours of skull reconstruction and ear surgery on Saturday.
