Kabul, Nov 7 (AP) The UN says hundreds of its staffers
will be temporarily pulled out of Afghanistan in the wake of
an October 28 attack that killed five of its workers, but it's
still determining exactly how many.
UN spokesman Adrian Edwards in Kabul emphasises the
world body is not "withdrawing, not pulling out" from
Afghanistan and will continue its work.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters at the
UN yesterday that about 200 staffers will be relocated to
other UN offices in the region.
But Edwards today said the UN is still poring over the
personnel lists of every UN agency and every office and has
yet to calculate the exact number leaving. - (Agencies)
