Extract from press encounter with CNN on the day that shots were fired at the UN headquarters compound (use of this quote MUST be attributed to CNN)

Kofi Annan, Former Secretary-General

SG: I believe this is an isolated event. We have a very good security force and the New York police work very effectively with us. I am confident that all the security forces are cooperating.

So I see this as an isolated event, and I don't think the staff should worry.
