| UN appeals for protection of civilians |
| 2001-10-09 |
The United Nations appealed for the protection of civilians in Afghanistan after last night's airstrikes killed four security guards for Afghan Technical Consultants, which had an office in a village two miles east of Kabul. The office was near a Taliban communications tower that may have been a target, UN officials said. Stephanie Bunker, a UN spokeswoman in Pakistan, said the guards hadn't been warned or told to relocate. "It was assumed they were safe where they were," she said. "Otherwise, they would have been relocated for sure." |
