Thank you. It's October 9, 2012, in Mn Mngora, a city in the Swat Valley of Pakistan.

Usman Bayjohn turns his flatbed truck onto a side road.

He weaves to avoid a pothole in the crumbling asphalt,

not wanting to jolt his passengers in the back. Usman's small truck doubles as a school bus,

and every morning and evening he transports the students of a local girl school to their lessons and then back home. It's only a short journey, but Usman is always surprised by how much gossip

the girls exchanged during the trip. Usband checks his rearview mirror. The girls are laughing

with each other, oblivious to the bumpy ride. But as Usman's eyes return to the road,

a man steps out in front of the truck with his arms raised. Usman hits the brakes and the truck jerks to a stop.

He turns around to check that the girls are okay.

Just as another man steps onto the tailgate at the rear of the truck,

Usman's stomach lurches as the man takes out a pistol and points it at the girls.

He demands to know which of them is Malala.

Malala Yusuf's eye is one of the girls who rides on Usman's truck every day. But she's not just a student. She also leads a vocal

campaign to encourage other girls to attend school. And that has angered the Islamic militants

who are active in this part of Pakistan.

Uzman and the other girls don't answer the gunman's question, but one or two involuntarily flick their eyes in Malala's direction.

The gunman follows their gaze, swings his gun, and pulls the trigger three times.

Fifteen-year-old Malala Yousafzai will survive the attempt on her life.
