PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN—Gunmen attacked two police providing security for polio vaccination workers in northwest Pakistan, shooting and killing one and wounding the other, officials said Saturday.
Mohammad Khurasani, spokesman for Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan terrorist group, known as the Pakistani Taliban, claimed responsibility. It was the first attack since the TTP on Friday announced the end of a one-month cease-fire with the government. The truce had been announced in November amid peace talks between the two sides.
