A suicide bomber disguised as a security officer infiltrated UN offices in the Pakistani capital today, killing five people and leaving several others critically injured. Witnesses said the blast at the UN World Food Program, in one of Islamabad's more exclusive neighborhoods, shattered windows and left victims lying in pools of their own blood. The organization, which helps Pakistanis displaced in fighting against al-Qaeda and the Taliban, is closing its offices temporarily.
