UN buildings clear because of odor
None
UN Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq says the UN building where the Security Council and the General Assembly were scheduled to meet have been evacuated because of a suspicious odor.
Other UN officials say the odor was caused by an apparent gas leak in the basement. The temporary building on the north lawn of the complex was evacuated Tuesday, but staff and diplomats were allowed to return a few minutes later. The building is also where UN Security-General Ban Ki-moon has his offices. (AP)
