| 2002-08-14 |
| Armed men broke into the compound of the United Nations refugee agency in the Afghan town of Ghazni and looted communications equipment and cash, a UNCHR spokeswoman said on Wednesday. Maki Shinohara of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said three armed men locked one foreign and seven Afghan employees in a toilet on Tuesday night before stealing the agency's communications equipment and cash from a safe. None of the UNHCR staff was hurt in the incident at their office in the centre of Ghazni, about 120 km southwest of Kabul. "We don't know the reason and motive behind it. Nor do we know who did it, but our staff from Ghazni said that the three men were organised," Shinohara said. "Duh, Mahmoud! Let's knock over the UN guys that take care of refugees." "Huh huh. Yeah. Bet they got lotsa money they ain't usin'." "Yeah. Huh huh. And then we can beat up our Moms..." "Nah. We did that yesterday..." |
