Hotel Bombing in Pakistan Challenges Aid to Refugees.

One casualty of the bombing that killed as many as 18 people at a luxury hotel here Tuesday night may be the effort to aid Pakistan's surging population of refugees, who have been displaced by the military campaign against the Taliban. Around 30 United Nations staff members were at the Pearl Continental Hotel on Tuesday when the bomber hit it, a United Nations spokesman said, and two were among the dead. More than 50 people were wounded in the attack. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
