UN asks agencies to stay away from rural NWFP
The United Nations (UN) on Friday directed all those working for various UN agencies not to travel rural areas and Afghan refugee camps until further orders after an attack on a UN vehicle in the Frontier province.

A Peshawar-based UN agency official told Daily Times the move was a precautionary measure. He said all staff associated with several UN agencies had suspended their activities in the region for an indefinite period. However, the decision would be reviewed on Monday, he said. The UN decision came after an incident that occurred in a village near Peshawar on Thursday in which a WHO vehicle was fired at by unidentified attackers.
