the death toll estimated at about 40.
The United Nations announced that it was pulling its international staff out
of their base in the northern Afghan province of Kunduz after it came under
attack Saturday by demonstrators.
The commander of NATO’S International Security Assistance Force, US General
John Allen, withdrew all staff out of Afghan ministries at the weekend when
two US advisers were shot dead in the interior ministry, apparently by an

The general had advised his commanders to be “vigilant” given recent
events but “he also made it clear that operations must continue,”
Kirby said.
