With the bloodshed mounting in Iraq, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan ordered some UN staff to leave the country temporarily, his spokesman said.

The UN had already drastically slashed staff in Iraq after a suicide bombing at the UN's Baghdad headquarters that killed 22 people, including top UN envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello. The world body had around 650 international staff in Iraq before that attack, a figure later cut to 100.
