The blast is the most devastating attack on a UN civilian complex
The United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, has said the UN will continue its work in Iraq there, despite Tuesday's devastating attack on its headquarters in Baghdad.
He said the UN would not be distracted by what he called a senseless and brutal act - but expressed disappointment that the US-led military forces had failed to create a secure environment for the UN's work.
The search for survivors in the rubble of the bombed building has been scaled down.
At least 17 people were killed, including the UN special representative for Iraq, Sergio Vieira de Mello. More than 100 people were injured in the blast.
