Five female teachers and two aid workers were killed on Tuesday by gunmen on motorcycles in Swabi, Pakistan.
The victims had been working with an NGO, Support With Working Solution, on polio immunisation campaigns.
Although no group has claimed responsibility for the shootings director of the NGO, Javed Akhtar, suspected that the attack was a part of a spree targeting anti-polio efforts in Pakistan.
Previously militant groups have accused health workers of spying for the USA and alleged that the polio vaccine is intended to sterilise Muslim children.
