Taliban commander regrets attack on Pakistani teen

None

A prominent Pakistani Taliban commander has written a letter to the teenage girl shot in the head by the group, expressing regrets that he didn't warn her before the assassination attempt that propelled her activism to the international stage.

 

The letter from Adnan Rasheed, however, didn't apologize for the attack that left Malala Yousafzai gravely wounded. Rasheed only said that he found the shooting "shocking" and wished it hadn't happened. He said he would leave it up to God to decide whether the outspoken activist for girls' education should have been targeted. (AP)
