Reuters has a story about an American peacekeeper in Liberia (by which I think they mean military observer or staff officer) who died. It appears to have been a suicide. The guy was under investigation for sexual exploitation and abuse of minors. An anonymous Liberian government official is quoted saying he was “involved in sex trade over the last year.”
