BAGHDAD (Reuters) - United Nations staff in Iraq are to be evacuated to Jordan following a truck bomb attack on their Baghdad headquarters that killed at least 17 people, U.N. sources in Baghdad said on Wednesday.
U.N. spokesman Salim Lone said he could not give official confirmation of the reports but expected to make an announcement soon. The bomb attack on Tuesday devastated the U.N. compound and wounded more than 100 people.
