Group of militants riding on a bike stopped the bus carrying the schoolgirls.Masked men then boarded the vehicle and pointed guns at the girls, asking for Malala. A hooded Taliban militant shouted: 'Which one of you is Malala? Speak up, otherwise I will shoot you all. She is propagating against the soldiers of Allah, the Taliban. She must be punished.'
