Polio-Vaccine Team Attacked in Pakistan

KHAR, Pakistan—Officials say gunmen have killed a policeman guarding a polio-vaccination team in northwestern Pakistan.

Local government administrator Faramosh Khan says the gunmen attacked on Monday in the town of Mamound in the Bajur tribal area, just as the team started a vaccination drive.

No one has claimed responsibility for the shooting, but suspicion will likely fall on Islamic militants suspected in similar attacks.

Jehanzeb Dawar, a senior regional health official, said a total of 624 teams are taking part in the latest push in Bajur to vaccinate more than 220,000 children. The teams relaunched the drive after taking a couple of months off because of past attacks on vaccination teams in the country.

It’s unclear whether the campaign will continue after Monday’s attack.
