UN UNDER ATTACK

Terrorist suicide bombers have recently targeted UN humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan:

A suicide attacker in Afghanistan's volatile southern province of Kandahar detonated an explosives-filled car near a convoy of vehicles belonging to the UN mine-clearing agency, killing himself and wounding an agency driver, the United Nations Mine Action Centre for Afghanistan (UNMACA) confirmed on Wednesday.

Wednesday's attack was the second involving the United Nations in less than a week. Two men were killed and one was injured in an ambush on a UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) vehicle in the western province of Herat on Friday.

Wonder what Timothy Garton Ash would call the perpetrators of such attacks? (See post below.)
