U.N. Pulls Staffers From Gaza After Gunmen Try to Kidnap Mission Chief

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The United Nations yanked its refugess mission from Gaza after Palestinian gunmen opened fire at a vehicle carrying the chief of the mission and tried to kidnap him.

Because the vehicles that were fired upon were so clearly marked, there are "some very serious security implications for us and for our staff," he said. Backup staff from overseas will not be brought in, and the agency will "review the necessity for the staff that are here at the moment," he said.

Earlier in the week, unidentified gunmen abducted a BBC reporter in Gaza City. The reporter, Alan Johnston, remained in captivity on Friday.

In the past 18 months, more than a dozen foreign journalists and aid workers have been abducted in Gaza, an area plagued by crime, political violence and lawlessness


IMO
They never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. But always manage to shoot themselves in the foot.
