With the United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, demanding an inquiry into the recent killings of three aid workers in eastern Liberia, President Charles Taylor yesterday ordered an official investigation. The government has accused rebels of killing the aid workers, from the American group Adventist Relief and Development Agency. The rebels have denied the charge. The killings have effectively driven all international aid workers from the region, which has been roiled by fresh fighting and an influx of Liberian refugees fleeing the war in neighboring Ivory Coast.
