Plea for security rethink as French aid worker is buried: "On Tuesday, UNHCR announced the immediate closure of its four refugee reception centres outside Kabul, and the withdrawal of its 30 foreign staff.
'We can no longer risk the lives of our expat staff: a dead aid worker can't help anyone, ' said UNHCR's Maki Shinohara, yesterday. 'The international community must seriously rethink the security situation in Afghanistan. Failing that, we will not be able to continue.' "
