Sudan Accuses Israel over Air Strike

Local Editor

Sudan has accused the Zionist entity of carrying out an air strike that killed two people in a car near the city of Port Sudan on Tuesday. Foreign Minister Ali Ahmad Karti said one man was Sudanese, but the identity of the other passenger was unknown. There has been no comment from the Zionist entity so far. But correspondents say ‘Israel’ believes the car was carrying weapons to be smuggled through the region to Gaza. Karti said the air strike was an attempt to damage Sudan's reputation. It was intended to disrupt the process of removing Sudan from the list of states that sponsor terrorism, he added. The car was hit about 15km (nine miles) south of Port Sudan on Tuesday. There is confusion as to whether the car was hit by a plane, helicopters or a missile fired from outside Sudan. Karti said one of the victims was an innocent civilian and efforts were being made to discover the identity of the second man. "The attack was carried out by Israel. We are absolutely sure of this," Karti was quoted as saying by AFP news agency. So far no-one has claimed to have carried out the attack. The car had been travelling into the city from the airport, one Sudanese official said.
