Islamabad: Undeterred by the Taliban attack earlier in the week, Kainat, a friend and fellow student of Malala Yousafzai, has vowed to continue her studies, and wants to become a doctor to serve the country.
The 14-year-old Malala and her two friends -- Kainat and Shazia -- were shot at in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province while they were returning home from school Tuesday. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the shooting that sparked outrage across the world.
Kainat told Geo News a militant opened fire after identifying Malala, and that she fell unconscious as she saw Malala in a pool of blood.
Kainat's father Riaz told the news channel that the provincial government has contacted him for the medical treatment of his daughter.
He, however, said Malala was still on ventilator and it would be premature to say anything with regard to its removal.
