An anti-terror court in the Swat Valley in north-west Pakistan has reportedly sentenced 10 men to life imprisonment for their involvement in the attack on education activist Malala Yousafzai.

When Yousafzai was 15, she was hot in the head by Taliban militants on board her school bus in the Swat valley in 2012, reported the BBC.

Last year, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for advocating children's rights, despite receiving the risk to her life.

Officials said that the 10 men, who do not include the man named as chief suspect, belonged to the Pakistani Taliban.
