MILITANTS have attacked police protecting an anti-polio team in Pakistan's troubled northwest, killing one policeman and injuring another.
The policeman was part of polio eradication campaign in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
Naseeb Gul from the district police office confirmed the casualties. He says the polio workers are safe.
No one has taken responsibility for the attack so far. However, it's believed that Islamists carry out such attacks as they consider immunisation a conspiracy by the West to reduce fertility in Muslims.
Last Saturday, militants linked with the Lashkar-e-Islam militant group kidnapped four teachers from the Khyber tribal district near Peshawar for administering polio vaccines to school children.
Pakistan is one of only a few countries, such as Afghanistan and Nigeria, where the crippling polio virus can still be found.
