[DAWN] KARACHI: Seven police officials guarding polio
...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic.

workers were killed in two separate attacks in Orangi Town Wednesday afternoon, officials said.
DIG West Feroz Shah told DawnNews that eight gunnies riding four cycle of violences carried out the killings in two separate attacks in the neighbourhood.
"The gunnies first opened fire on three coppers in the streets of Orangi Town, killing them all," he said, adding: "Later they rubbed out four coppers, who were sitting in a police mobile van" a few streets away.
"The first incident happened while the police was escorting the polio team," Shah said.
"A policeman intervened when eight men on four cycle of violences came and asked a polio worker for his name. In response, the men opened fire. Although the police fired in response, they were overpowered," he said.
"The same men killed four members of another police team."
Abdul Kareem, an official at the Abbasi Shaheed Hospital, where the bodies were taken, also confirmed the casualties.
There are no reports of injuries or deaths of polio workers.
The anti-polio campaign in the area was suspended immediately and heavy contingents of law enforcement agencies, including paramilitary Rangers, cordoned off the area.
