KINSHASA, Congo (AP) - The United Nations mission in Congo has suspended five civilian staff members for "procurement irregularities," the U.N. said Tuesday.
The action is the latest in a string of accusations of misconduct by the soldiers or employees of U.N. peacekeeping missions deployed to return stability to fractured countries.
A spokeswoman for the peacekeeping mission — the world's largest with about 18,000 troops — declined to comment or explain the nature of the irregularities, saying the investigation was ongoing.
