| Grenade attack on UN building in southern Afghanistan |
| 2002-08-03 |
| A grenade exploded in the grounds of a United Nations compound in southern Afghanistan in the first attack against UN staff since the world body resumed its operations in the country late last year. No one was injured in the attack on Thursday at the local headquarters of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in Kandahar city. The grenade landed on the lawn and the force of the explosion broke a few windows. No one was injured. Another pinprick attack. They'll continue until the Afghans start catching the guys who pull them off. But... The two suspected attackers first made off on a motorbike which they were forced to abandon and then escaped into a field where pursuing security officials lost track of them. That's what always happens, isn't it? |
