- a mother-daughter team — were shot dead in Pakistan on Thursday, the first time in two years that the polio eradication drive has been shaken by assassinations.
Last year, Pakistan had only eight confirmed cases of polio paralysis; four years ago, the nation had 306.
The only other country with ongoing transmission of polio is Afghanistan, which had 24 cases last year, most of them in provinces adjoining Pakistan and among Pashtuns, the predominant ethnic group in border areas.
