QUETTA: A polio team administering vaccination to children in Pashtoonabad on Sunday, was attacked by militants, injuring four people including a minor girl.
Police said militants hurled a hand-held bomb at the polio team, which left a five-year-old girl and a lady health worker injured, besides two others.
The girl was quickly shifted to civil hospital Quetta for medical treatment.
The blast also damaged a portion of a mud-walled house in the area.
A polio campaign is under-way in Quetta and other parts of Balochistan since the last four days in full swing.

Why don't they use mock polio teams to use as a bait to go after the attackers. Anyone who tries to harm polio vaccination team should be shot at the spot. These are criminal should be dealt with. Educate people on TV that Polio vaccination is not for population control and no one has an malicious intent behind vaccination.
