Six anti-polio campaign workers have been shot dead by suspected Taliban gunmen in Pakistan.
The killings came a day after a volunteer for the World Health Organisation's anti-polio campaign was shot dead in Pakistan's largest city, Karachi.
Five of the polio workers killed yesterday were also in Karachi. Four were women.
