ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) - U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday toured the ruins of a building torn apart by a suicide bombing that killed 17 U.N. staffers last week, vowing that the world body would not be intimidated.
"All the United Nations agencies in Algeria are going to continue their work," Ban said after visiting the U.N. offices hit by one of two truck bombings in the capital on Dec. 11. At least 37 people were killed.
"We will not be intimidated by terror bombings," Ban told reporters. "Terrorism is not a phenomenon against a state or a specific region, it's a worldwide threat requiring global efforts and cooperation from the entire international community."
