Danish Aid Workers Suspend Operations in Muslim Countries
(Reuters) Kim McLaughlin and James Kilner - The Danish Foreign Ministry urged its citizens to leave Lebanon because of expected demonstrations in the coming days. "We are pulling people out of areas where demonstrations are expected and keeping them away until later," said Helge Kvam, spokesman of the Danish Red Cross which has about 40 Danish staff in Muslim countries. The Danish Refugee Council, which has 90 international staff, said it had pulled staff from Afghanistan and Sudan and halted operations in Chechnya. Danish Church Aid said it had suspended operations in Islamic countries.
