Fierce Shredding at UN? SHRED THE UN!

According to a UN staffer, Iqbal Riza is "at it again".
   "Everyday he [Riza] appeared, he would put a large number 
of documents through an office shredder."
"No one knew what documents were being destroyed."
FOX News is reporting massive shredding going on at the UN. So much so it's become something of a joke at 41st Street - so not funny

We know shredding began the day after the UN General Assembly approved the Volcker inquiry into the oil-for-food scandal, and was in defiance of a UN-wide order that all documents be preserved.

Starting the day after the U.N. Security Council authorized the Volcker investigation, Annan’s chief of staff, Iqbal Riza , spent seven months shredding documents for the years 1997 to 1999, covering the crucial first two years of Oil-for-Food, during which Annan greatly shaped and expanded the program. The shredding covered the period in which the U.N. in late 1998 hired the inspections firm, Cotecna, which had employed Annan’s son. (Riza has since resigned as chief of staff, but retains his diplomatic immunity and U.N. access as a $1 a year adviser to Annan) and has since been named as to council on islamic relations (ha!)

What's being shredded, no one knows.......Could it have to do with the criminal investigation of Sevan?

The man who once headed up the U.N. Oil-for-Food program is now the target of a criminal investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau.

Benon Sevan is already under investigation by the Independent Inquiry Committee, a U.N.-approved special commission headed by Paul Volcker that is investigating alleged Oil-for-Food corruption. The commission is looking into oil deals worth millions of dollars that Sevan allegedly arranged in exchange for kickbacks.

Sevan's name allegedly appears on documents relating to transactions with an oil company registered in Panama.

Hey Sevan, where did that $160,000 come from?

It's anyone's guess what is being shred but it ain't good (if they admit to moving child raping UN workers across the globe), this must be awful.

UPDATE: The purging and shredding has been going on for quite some time. Tim Woods writes;

<<<

In April 2003 I reported, whilst then running a different publication than I am now, that critical records and correspondence related to oil for food were purged from the computer system at UN HQ. What Riza appears to have been doing is making sure that analogue copies of the digital stuff that disappeared long before Volcker came along.

That was followed up a year later with my leak of the UN audit of Cotecna's role in oil for food, shortly before Volcker got down to work.
