Washington, Oct 16 : Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik has announced a million dollar bounty on the leader of Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, who claimed responsibility for the attack of teenage rights activist Malala Yousufzai, and has alleged that the plan was hatched in Afghansitan.
"This conspiracy assassination plan was made across the border in Afghanistan," Mr Malik told a private news channel in an interview.
"At that point of time, we did not exactly know what was their objective and what kind of action they were going to take, till the time they had hit Malala. Of course, one other guy we have identified and few of his associates have been arrested," he said, adding that one of the financers of the terrorists have also been detained.
