BRIMINGHAM: In her first telephone call from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital here, Malala Yousufzai and her father called senior journalist and Geo News anchor Hamir Mir.

''Malala Yousafzai and her father just called me from UK and expressed their solidarity. Malala said that Insha Allah we will defeat terrorists,'' Mir tweeted.

The anchor escaped an assassination attempt when police defused a bomb planted on the passenger side of his car in Islamabad on Monday morning.

The material included a battery, a 35 no. detonator and ball bearings.

Interior Minister Rehman Malik has announced a reward of RS 50 million for credible information regarding the attempt on Mir's life.
