Six women and a man working for a Pakistani health and education charity involved in vaccinations were shot dead on their way home from a community centre on Tuesday, officials said.
Police said they were investigating whether there was any link to the Taliban or other Islamist militants, who have been blamed for past attacks on charity workers and on health education projects in particular.
The attack took place about 65 kilometres (40 miles) northwest of the capital in the Swabi district. The victims were all Pakistanis and worked at a local centre called Ujalla, which runs a school and a health clinic.
