These are not random attacks. The women were likely targeted
for engaging in un-Islamic activity. A
Pakistani Muslim cleric has said that polio vaccinations are un-Islamic. And in
Nigeria, a Muslim cleric was arrested for playing a role
in sparking the murders of polio workers.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Attackers on Tuesday gunned down three
women working to administer polio vaccine in eastern Afghanistan, officials
said, a day after authorities launched a new campaign against the crippling
children’s disease.
The
women were killed in two separate attacks in Jalalabad, the capital of
Nangarhar province. Fared Khan, spokesman for Nangarhar police, said two were
shot and killed in police District 7 and the third in District 4.
According
to an official from the governor’s office, local media were reporting that no
arrests have been made so far in the case. The official, who was not authorized
to talk to the media, spoke on condition of anonymity.
No
one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but eastern Afghanistan
has witnessed an increase of attacks by the Islamic State group. IS militants
have declared war on Shiites and frequently target the country’s minority
Hazaras.
The
government on Monday launched another round of polio vaccinations across the
country, aiming to inoculate 9.6 million children under 5 years of age. The
polio drive came after 54 new cases of polio were reported in 2020, the highest
number on record since the fall of the Taliban in 2001….
That is Bill Gates's vaccine. And 50 of the 54 cases are from the vaccine, not wild polio virus.
