"Radio Mullah" Sent Taliban After 14-Year-Old Activist in Pakistan

The girl was targeted for advocating education for girls

 One of the Taliban's most feared commanders, Maulana Fazlullah, carefully briefed two killers from his special hit squad on their next target. 

The gunmen weren't going after any army officer, politician or western diplomat. Their target was a 14-year-old Pakistani schoolgirl who had angered the Taliban by speaking out for "western-style" girls' education.
