Now and then - UN HQ in Iraq
( 2003-08-20 16:23) (Agencies)
The United Nation's flag flies
over the rubble of the UN's Baghdad headquarters following a fatal truck
bomb attack August 19, 2003. The Security Council vowed on Tuesday that
the deadly blast would not deter the international community from carrying
out its mission to help rebuild postwar Iraq. "Such terrorist incidents
cannot break the will of the international community to further intensify
its efforts to help the people of Iraq," Security Council members said in
a statement read by Deputy UN Ambassador Fayssal Mekdad of Syria, the
Security Council president for August. [Reuters] |

suicide bomber. The top UN envoy to Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello, was
killed in the powerful car bomb blast, which claimed the lives of at least
17 others and posed the gravest challenge yet to the US presence in the
country. [AP] |
