Angry villagers bury slain Pakistani teachers, aid workers

SWABI, Pakistan – Hundreds of villagers in northwest Pakistan turned out Wednesday to bury five female teachers and two health workers who were gunned down a day earlier by militants in what may have been the latest in a series of attacks targeting anti-polio efforts in the country.



The seven had worked at a community center in the town of Swabi that included a primary school and a medical clinic that vaccinated children against polio. Some militants oppose the vaccination campaigns, accusing health workers of acting as spies for the U.S. and alleging the vaccine is intended to make Muslim children sterile.

I guess killing every teacher is a good way of keeping the populace uneducated...

That statement would define the Taliban's position on the matter.
