7 Polio Workers Now Killed by Taliban in Pakistan

The Taliban continued it's targeting of polio workers, in Pakistan.

Two more people were killed on Wednesday, following five on Tuesday.

Another two groups were also attacked, on Wednesday, but no one was hurt in the gunfire.

UNICEF and WHO have both said they will begin higher security precautions in order to protect their workers.

In 2011, a spokesman for the Taliban said that there is no polio danger, that the international community is using the work to disguise spying.

Since then, the Taliban has threatened to go after the workers, but had not acted on that til now.
