STORY: Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai, said she was honored to be chosen to win the Nobel Peace Prize and to share it with Indian campaigner against child trafficking and labour Kailash Satyarthi.
Yousafzai, was shot in the head by the Taliban in 2012 for advocating girls' right to education.
Yousafzai, aged 17, becomes the youngest Nobel Prize winner and 60-year-old Satyarthi the first Indian-born winner of the accolade.
They were picked for their struggle against the oppression of children and young people, and for the right of all children to education, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said.
The sharing of the award between an Indian and a Pakistani came after a week of hostilities along the border of the disputed, mainly Muslim region of Kashmir - the worst fighting between the nuclear-armed rivals in more than a decade.
Yousafzai was attacked in 2012 on a school bus in the Swat Val
