UN officials put on leave after criticizing Iraq security
The UN put two of its senior officials on special leave on Tuesday following a scathing report on safety precautions before the deadly August bombing of UN offices in Baghdad.

The two were Tun Myat of Myanmar, the global UN security coordinator, and Ramiro Lopes da Silva of Portugal.

Lopes da Silva has been the acting head of mission in Iraq since the Aug. 19 attack on the organization's headquarters that killed 22 staff and visitors, including the head of the operation, Sergio Vieira de Mello.
