Talking to media, medical director of Birminghams Queen Elizabeth Hospital Dave Rosser said that some suspected persons were detained after turning up at the hospital, falsely claiming to be related to the 14-year-old Malala Yousufzai.Malala arrived in the UK for treatment on Monday after being shot by Taliban gunman during attack on a school van in Swat valley.Dave Rosser said the arrests were irritating, adding that Malala was never at risk as the hospital was very comfortable with security arrangements.We think its probably people being overly curious, he said, adding that Malala had a comfortable night at the hospital. Were very pleased with the progress shes made so far.David Rosser said she had had a comfortable night. We are very pleased with the progress shes made so far, he said.She is showing every sign of being every bit as strong as weve been led to believe.Malala will need reconstructive surgery and we have international experts in that field.He said doctors at the highly specialised hospital, where British service personnel wounded in Afghanistan are treated, were beginning to plan for the complex procedures but they would not be carried out in the coming days.Malala has been assessed by clinicians from the neurosurgery, imaging, trauma and therapy departments, though very specialist teams who may become involved further down the line are yet to perform detailed assessments on her injuries, Rosser added.Meanwhile, Federal Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday announced Tamgha-e-Shujaat for Malala Yousufzai on behalf of the President of Pakistan.
