Gunmen have ambushed and shot dead six female aid workers and a male doctor who were travelling in a van in northern Pakistan.
The group's vehicle was raked with gunfire as they returned home from a children's community centre run by the Pakistani charity Ujala, according to district police officer Abdur Rashid Khan.

Militants in the conservative Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province - where the attack took place - oppose female education and have attacked female students and blown up their schools.
Last month, gunmen killed nine health workers taking part in a national polio vaccination drive in a series of attacks.
Aid workers have frequently been kidnapped or killed in Pakistan, which is struggling to contain a Taliban insurgency and plagued by corruption and violent crime.
