MINGORA, Pakistan A 15-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban for promoting girls' education has urged Pakistan to reverse a decision to rename a college in her honor to avert militant attacks on students, an official said Friday.

Malala Yousufzai, who became a symbol of youth resistance to the Taliban, made the request after students broke into the school, tore down Malala's pictures and boycotted classes in her home town of Mingora. They said renaming the college endangered their lives.

Senior government official Kamran Rehman said Malala called him from London, where she was being treated for critical wounds from the attack on Oct. 9. The Taliban said it targeted her for promoting education for secular girls.

• Pakistan students protest naming school after activist schoolgirl shot by the Taliban
• Pakistanis, U.N. pay tribute to girl shot by Taliban

Malala's case won worldwide recognition for the struggle for women's rights in Pakistan and Taliban have vowed to target her again.

Pakistani Taliban have a strong presence in the country's tribal regions bordering Afghanistan.

A bomb ripped through the office of a local militant commander Maulvi Abbas in Wana, a main town in the South Waziristan tribal region in the northwest, killing him and three of his guards, two intelligence officials said Friday.

Abbas was an associate of Hakimullah Mehsud, the head of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan militant group, they said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief reporters.

It was unclear who had planted the bomb. The attack came weeks after a suicide bomber in the same town attacked Maulvi Nazir, a prominent militant commander who is believed to have a nonaggression pact with the army.

Nazir was wounded in the attack, and seven of his men were killed.

Since then there has been tension between followers of Nazir and the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan in the region.

The fact is, the Malala Yousufzai affair was a lie. Like the "Nayirah" fraud used to launch the First Gulf War; like the "Neda" incident, intended to stoke hatred for Iran; like the claims of banned weapons systems in Iraq; like the New World Order manufactured events of September 11; like the engineered "disasters" of "Hurricane" Sandy intended to convince the gullible the world is a morass of unending unimaginable disaster and the only safety is in a FEMA concentration camp; and, although this may cause this not to be printed and even have me banned from the website, the apparently fabricated incidents at the Sandy Hook school, with their inconsistencies and unreasonable elements, planned to make the gullible give up their guns so the poluice state take over by the NWO will be simple.
The flaws in the Malala Yousufzai story are many and outlandish.
Such as the BBC first of all even finding out about her supposed "diary". What did they do, stage an audition for girls throughout Pakistan to see who had the most vicious comments against the Taliban?
Once they started reporting on her diary, why did the BBC leave her in Pakistan? Didn't they know it was supposedly dangerous? Why didn't her father get her and her family out?
Why didn't the Taliban act quicker? Why did they let her "diary" be broadcast for years without making a move?
Why didn't they do something surer, like use a suicide bomb?
Taliban members are well trained. Why didn't this one shoot well enough to kill her right out?
If you look at the claimed path of the bullet, you will see that the "assailant" had to be standing in mid air at least three feet off the ground to have it enter and travel as they say!
If you look at pictures of the bus where the "attack" supposedly took place, you will see a gigantic square patch of blood on the back of the seat where Malala purportedly was sitting. She was shot in the front! And she was wearing heavy clothing. There was no way even heavy bleeding would travel backwards to produce the square spot of blood depicted.
It was claimed Malala was shot through the crown of her head, the bullet went behind her eye, shattered the left side of her jaw and lodged in her collarbone area. This would produce immense bleeding, scarring and bruising and powder burns. There is no sign of any of this in her earliest pictures. Aware of the flaw, they evcidently went back and at least darkened her eye in later versions of the picture.
Servants of the lie know they cannot depend on what they defend to provide proof against criticism. As a result, they rely on non argument techniques like non validated dismissiveness, arrogance, contempt, viciousness, mockery, vulgarity.

Once agin the threat of terror wins against freedom . We had better get a back bone and stand up , or these thugs are going to put us in the box of fear that they design , as this has been the tool used for Centuries , even against the women of their own house holds .

One Brave kid got the attention of the world and yet the foundation of success for the others of today and tomorrow are crushed under the weakness of Pakistan Gov . If they had wisdom over there in Pakistan , they would name everything they can after the Brave Kid .
