Taliban kills five women aid workers in Pakistan as they administer polio vaccines to children

The Taliban murdered five women polio health workers in a series of attacks in Pakistan today. The victims were shot in the head at close range, two of them as they administered vaccine drops to young children. The killings halted a polio campaign that international health officials say is vital to contain the crippling disease but which the Taliban claim is a cover for US spies.
