KABUL, Afghanistan — The United Nations mission in Afghanistan announced plans on Thursday to relocate hundreds of foreign staff members, sending some out of the country, in the wake of a lethal attack on its workers at a guesthouse last week.
The relocation of its workers here, while temporary, was one more signal of mounting pressure on United Nations operations as security deteriorates around the region. The move comes just four days after the United Nations announced it was withdrawing its international workers from northwestern Pakistan, where insurgents are fighting Pakistani troops and have carried out a string of terrorist attacks.
