 LONDON (AP) - The British hospital treating a wounded teenage activist shot by the Taliban in Pakistan says several people have been arrested at the hospital.

Fourteen-year-old Malala Yousufzai was shot in the head by the Taliban last week as she was returning home from school. She was airlifted to the U.K. on Monday to receive specialized medical care and protection from follow-up attacks threatened by the militants.

Medical Director Dave Rosser of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham stressed Tuesday that security is "under control" after several individuals were arrested after turning up at the hospital, claiming to be the girl's relatives.

my ancestors are German, and that's what was said during the world wars. Wasn't true.

They aren't leaving to escape. They are leaving to spread their ways of violence. But they're counting on people like you thinking like that so they can work themselves into the mainstream. And their Sharia law.

OK - any entity that 'targets' children should be decimated to the point of oblivion - swiftly & decisively and NO negotiating - EVER!

cptn, maybe that's why muslims are coming to America. Just like our ancestors, they are leaving an opressive country.

Just wait for the end result of the mass flooding of Muslims into America. Guess what, they don't like women in America being educated either. Just be careful what you say, wouldn't want to offend anyone.

What do they expect? They announced what hospital she was at. How stupid was that?

The Taliban are such cowards! They feel threatened by a 14 year old. Why do they want to keep women uneducated? The Muslim world needs to take care of this problem. They've just ignored it forever. I believe it's their responsibility to take care of the radical factions. Come on Muslims, step up. You've put up with this for far too long.
