Action needed

Pakistan is one of the two countries in the world where deadly polio disease still exists and targets precious human lives. But it’s so unfortunate that the teams of polio drive in different parts of Pakistan are being targeted and killed which is the worst form of terrorism in the country (“Bomb targeting police assigned for polio drive kills 9, including 5 children,” Nov.1, Gulf Today website).

According to the report, a powerful bomb attached to a motorcycle exploded near a vehicle carrying police officers assigned to protect polio workers in restive southwest Pakistan on Friday, killing nine people including five nearby children, and wounding 17 other people, officials said.

The civilian government has to take serious action against the cowardly terrorist groups who are involved in the terrorism and killing of innocent people without any fear in the daylight.
