(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Malala Yousufzai's father Ziauddin Yousufzai welcomed Pakistan Army's confirmation that ten Taliban members involved in attacking his daughter, who now lives in Birmingham, have been arrested.
After ISPR's confirmation at a live press conference, Ziauddin expressed joy on behalf of his family and confirmed that he had also spoken to ISPR's Asim Bajwa and thanked him for releasing the good news.
It is understood that Malala was in school when the news was broken that her Taliban attackers have been arrested.
Ziauddin said this was good news not only for Malala, Kainat and Shazia and their families but also 'for the people of Pakistan and the civilised world'.
He paid tributes to Pakistan army, police forces and other law enforcement agencies for persistently chasing the attackers of Malala and arresting them.
"We are proud of their role. They have worked hard to chase the outlaws who have brought destruction and bloodshed to the people of Pakistan," he said.
"The arrest of these attackers will help improve Pakistan's image abroad as a country where institutions work and where criminals are punished. It will help increase the trust level in Pakistan and we are very happy," Ziauddin added.
Ziauddin said that there are thousands of victims of Taliban who will receive justice too and any one who is involved in terror attacks will be brought to justice.
Ziauddin said he was aware that some people didn't even believe that Malala was ever attacked by Taliban and called it a 'drama'.
