It's just been reported that up to 20 UN staff members in the UN HQ in Mazar-e Sharif where killed by a mob that attacked the HQ after a demonstration went out of control.
The demonstration was started as a protest against the US preacher Terry Jones who burned the Koran last week, and it's believed that Taliban insurgents where taking advantage of the demonstration to attack the UN compound.
It's reported that at least two of the UN workers where beheaded in the violent attack..
A Norwegian female LTCol and a Swedish officer are amongst the killed but I haven't found any info on the rest yet
RIP! :salute2:
