Pakistan: Seven charityworkers shot dead

[Backbencher]

Seven charity workers, six of
them women, have been shot
dead in north-west Pakistan,
police say.
The women, some of them
teachers, were attacked near a
health and education community
centre. A male colleague died with
them. All were Pakistani citizens.
Their vehicle came under gunfire
near the centre run by Pakistani
charity Ujala, or Light.
The incident happened in the
Swabi district close to a road
connecting Peshawar to the
eastern city of Lahore.
"Four men came on two
motorbikes. They attacked their
van. They opened fire to the right
and left of the van and fled on
their motorbikes," Swabi district
police chief Abdul Rashid Khan
said, according to AFP.
He added that the driver of the
vehicle had also been injured in
the attack, which took place near
a motorway junction.
No-one at the charity, which
works in the education sector, was
immediately available for
comment.
No group has claimed
responsibility for the attack
although militants in the
conservative Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
province oppose female education
and have attacked female students
and their schools.
Last month, in a series of attacks,
gunmen killed nine health workers
taking part in a national polio
vaccination drive.
The killings prompted the UN
children's agency and the World
Health Organisation to suspend
work on polio campaigns in the
country.
