KARACHI:
The entire Pakistani nation is praying for Malala Yousafzai to win this
year’s Nobel Peace Prize which will be announced in Oslo today.
The 16-year-old, who was shot by the Taliban last year, would be the youngest winner of any Nobel. Since recovering from her injuries, she has toured the world, becoming a global celebrity.
On Thursday, she won the Sakharov Award, the European Parliament's 50,000-euro ($65,000) human rights award.
