A policeman escorting a team of polio health workers was shot dead by unidentified gunmen in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Tuesday, authorities said. Pakistan had started a five-day campaign to vaccinate over 4 crore children against polio on Monday. Terrorists in the region consider anti-polio vaccination drives to be a plot by Western countries to sterilise Muslims, ANI reported.
