Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan and Kailash Satyarthi of India won the Nobel Peace
Prize on Friday for risking their lives to fight for children's rights. The
decision made Malala, a 17-year-old student and education activist, the
youngest-ever Nobel winner.
The news set off celebrations on the streets of Mingora, the main town in Pakistan's volatile Swat Valley, with residents greeting each other and distributing sweets.
At the town's Khushal Public School owned by Malala's father: students danced in celebration Friday, jumping up and down.

Appropriately, Malala was at school Friday in the central English
city of Birmingham at the time of the Nobel announcement and was expected to
make a statement later in the day. Pakistani Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali
Khan said the decision "has given pride to the whole of Pakistan."
