However, the main suspect remains at large, according to Pakistani officials.

As reported by CNN:

Police identified Atta Ullah Khan, a 23-year-old man from the Swat district where Malala was attacked, as the primary suspect. Police said they were searching for Khan, who was studying for a master's degree in chemistry.

The Swat Valley in northwestern Pakistan is a Taliban redoubt. The official did not say what role Khan may have played. Khan had studied for a Bachelor of Science degree in physics at Jahanzeb College in Swat.

Malala, who has become a symbol of courage after being shot in the head by the Taliban for demanding education for girls, is being treated at a hospital in Birmingham, England.

Today Malala remains in stable condition and "continues to make good progress," said a hospital official.

The Pakistani Taliban have claimed responsibility for the October 9 shooting and vowed to kill Malala if she recovers.
