MILITANTS attacked a health centre used in an ongoing anti-polio campaign in north-west Pakistan today, triggering a gun battle that left a police officer dead.
Three of the attackers were also killed in the exchange.
No-one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack in Orakzai, a district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban.
