Anti-Polio Health Worker Shot Dead in Pakistan 
-----------------------------------------------


 
A health worker overseeing a polio vaccination effort in Pakistan has
been shot dead. The victim was the latest medical official to be killed
in the fallout from the U.S. assassination of Osama bin Laden. The
Taliban began attacking health workers after it was revealed the CIA
used a fake vaccination program to help locate bin Laden.
