A senior police official says a UN employee and a bodyguard have been killed in a shooting at a refugee camp in northwest Pakistan.
Local police chief Ghayoor Afridi said gunmen shot the UN employee and his bodyguard Thursday at the Kacha Garhi camp near Peshawar. Afridi said the assailants tried to kidnap the UN official and opened fire when he resisted.
Afridi said two Pakistanis working for the UN were also wounded in the attack.
Earlier,UN spokeswoman Ishrat Rizvi said a UN worker was shot in the chest and taken to hospital. She declined to give the worker’s nationality.
UN employees have been attacked several times in recent months,including a bombing last month that killed several UN employees at a Peshawar hotel.
