UNITED NATIONS:
The UN Security Council on Friday condemned “in the strongest terms” an attack against a convoy of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission in the Central African Republic in Bangui in which one Pakistani peacekeeper was killed and several other peacekeepers from Pakistan and Bangladesh were severely injured. “Members of the Security Council expressed their condolences and sympathy to the family of the peacekeeper killed and the families of those injured,” a statement issued by the body said. The United States has also offered condolences over the loss of a Pakistani UN peacekeeper, as Washington called for an immediate end to ongoing incidents of bloodshed in the country.
