Malala incident: Rehman Malik offers $1m bounty for TTP spokesman
Malala was attacked by Taliban gunmen on October 9 when she was on her way from school.
The TTP said that they will target her again if she survives because she was a “secular-minded lady”.
“She was pro-West, she was speaking against Taliban and she was calling President Obama her idol,” Ehsan had said via telephone from an undisclosed location.
“She was young but she was promoting Western culture in Pashtun areas,” he said.
Malik also recently announced that Sitara-e-Shujaat will be awarded to Malala for her bravery.

@Something Clever: Chechnyan leader also had, so Russians sent a missile on him when he used his phone. We are supposed to believe both US and Pakistan are unable to do it?
What took you so long?
Why not for the the leader?
Well he knows that they will never be caught, hence got nothing to lose
@Moise: Do you ever get tired of looking the fool? All high profile news agencies have contacts and in many countries privacy those sources are protected by law even in times of war. But you always have been a little slow, now haven't you.
What Mr. Ansar Abbasi, Zaid Hamid, Orya Maqbool Jan have to say ?
Never knew Pakistan having so much of money the way bounties are being offered. Why to depend on USAids ?
Until you announce a bounty on Hafees Saeed, Pakistan will keep sinking deeper and deeper in the hole.
Um - you had claimed to have arrested 3 suspects in this case. Can they not lead you to the man you are seeking instead of a bounty?
Why we pakistanis so habitual of resolving our issues through bounties?
Mr. Malik, Your statement is well taken and I pray that those insolved and guilty be brought to justice, but our justice system and its member are only interested in parting justice to political opponents, They have simply failed to punish the terrorists infact some are garland for their Crime. I wonder if there is going to be a sou- motto, judging from past history she moment qualify in the Judges book
Why in US Dollars? Even GOP does not value its currency.
Anouncing bounty has become a fashion in Pakistan . Start a combing operation and snach all arm and ammunition from terrorists . There should be no relaxation to them .
Instead of offering bounties for anything and everything, GoP should actually do something about terrorists.
Finally! I've always wondered how Ehsanullah Ehsan can remain in contact with all news/media agencies and yet evade the authorities
Enough is enough, we need to bring down this menace of extremists.
Sick and tired of the bounty business
Ehsanullah Ehsan favorite news agency is undoubtedly Reuters. No matter how many US satellites are trying to find him, Reuters is able to find him for a press conference with great ease.
So this means first place to find is in the Reuters call records.
