NEW YORK (Reuters) - Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai, who was shot in the head by the Taliban for campaigning for girl's education, spoke on Thursday of the possibility of winning this year's Nobel Peace Prize and said she might like to be Pakistan's prime minister one day.

"If I get the Nobel Peace Prize, I think it will be such a great honour, and more than I deserve, and such a great responsibility as well," she told an audience at a New York City cultural centre on Thursday night.
