The U.N. staff committee slammed on Tuesday the deadly attacks in Algiers, and urged more adequate security measures.
In a statement released by the U.N. Staff Council's Standing Committee on the Security and Independence of the International Civil Service, the committee said it is outraged by the terrorist bombings.
It reminded that at least 19 U.N. staff members have been killed this year, and called for a full investigation to determine if adequate security measures were in place to prevent such a horrifying act.
The bombs exploded around 9:30 a.m. (0830 GMT) with one blasting close to the U.N. refugee agency building and the other near the Algerian Supreme Court building.
According to the latest statistics, the bombs killed at least one U.N. staff member and left at least 12 missing.
