At least four people were killed Tuesday in a string of targeted attacks on polio workers in eastern Afghanistan, officials said, the second assault on vaccinators in the area in less than three months. The polio workers were gunned down in three different locations over two hours, in a "co-ordinated attack", Nangarhar police spokesman Farid Khan said. "This is the work of the Taliban, targeting health workers to deprive people of polio vaccines," he said. Health ministry spokesman Osman Taheri confirmed the attacks.More Related News
