Taliban members in Pakistan have threatened a 17 year old girl named Hinna Khan in a phone call. The call was made to the cell phone of Hinna's mother. The caller said that Hinna would be next. Hinna is a young activist from the same area as Malala Yousafzai who was recently shot in the head by Taliban members. Hinna's father, Reyatullah Khan, has long been an activist in Pakistan. He has received threats before but is now more careful since the attack on Malala. Many Pakistanis who are against the Taliban are hoping for government crackdowns on such attacks.
