    Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai has returned to her home town in for the first time since she was shot there by Taliban militants, security officials say.

    Ms Yousafzai, 20, was shot in the head by a gunman for campaigning for female education in 2012.

    Her family's home region of Swat was once a militant stronghold, and she was attacked on a school bus there at 15.

    It had been unclear if she would visit the area because of security concerns.

    On Thursday, it was announced that Ms Yousafzai had returned from the UK to Pakistan for the first time since she was attacked.

    Ms Yousafzai delivered an emotional speech at the prime minister's office in :

    “Always it has been my dream that I should go to Pakistan and there, in peace and without any fear, I can move on streets, I can meet people, I can talk to people.

    “And I think that it's my old home again… so it is actually happening, and I am grateful to all of you.”
