MONROVIA The United Nation’s first women-only peacekeeping unit, comprising 103 Indian policewomen, arrived in Liberia yesterday, officials said.

Ben Malor, spokesman for the UN’s 15,000strong force in the West African country, said that the women would be stationed in the capital. Members of the group have said they hope that they will be seen as more approachable by women and children in Liberia’s postcivil war conflict zones. (AP)
