Generations at Risk

In the latest terrorist attack on immunisation teams in Pakistan, Doctor Zakaullah Khan, a senior member of the polio vaccination campaign, was shot dead by unidentified motorcycle borne terrorists near his house in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), on September 11, 2016. Jama'at-ul-Ahrar (JuA), a breakaway faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), claimed responsibility for the attack. TTP-JuA 'spokesman' Ehsanullah Ehsan, while claiming responsibility, vowed to carry out more such attacks.
