Germany hopes for "early return" of UN aid workers to Iraq

IRNA

Berlin, Oct 31, IRNA -- The German government Friday voiced hope for 
the "early return" of foreign UN aid workers to Iraq, after all 
non-Iraqi UN staff members were withdrawn from the war-stricken 
country as a result of the recent devastating suicide attack on the 
International Red Cross headquarters in Baghdad. 
"We have of course sympathy (for the UN`s decision) which was 
made out of concern for the UN workers well-being and we hope that 
the circumstances enable an early return for them," German Foreign 
Ministry spokeswoman Antje Leendertse said during a news conference. 
The UN announced Thursday that it had started pulling out all 
non-Iraqi UN workers from Baghdad on a "temporary basis".
