    Bombs on bikes … disguised killers of bus passengers … fouled minds at work. The Taliban ARE REALLY UPSET that the girl they tried to kill, for speaking up about desiring an education, lived, was ‘repaired’, and has been sent back into the world to write about them. They cannot kill the free spirit ….
