The United Nations has announced that it will temporarily remove 600 of its foreign workers from Afghanistan. The decision comes as a result of last week's deadly attack against the international organization that killed five UN employees and three Afghans. 

UN officials say that the employees will return once the organization is able to construct a properly fortified compound to house all its employees. Those who remain in Afghanistan will stay on a police-training compound operated by the European Union. Previously, many UN workers had been living in approximately 90 guesthouses spread out across Kabul.
