Vaccine Workers.
KANO, Nigeria — Police
in northern Nigeria arrested and charged two radio journalists and a
local cleric alleged to have sparked the killings of at least nine
women gunned down while trying to administer polio vaccines,
officials said Tuesday. Police claimed their on-air comments about a
vaccination campaign in the area inflamed the region and caused the
attacks.
