Sudan - US close to naming suspect in murder of US diplo

Are they still thinking the Companions of Monotheism, (aka the Partners of Monotheism, aka the Partisans of Allah's Unity, or Oneness - I've seen more names for these guys than you can shake a stick at...) are involved? Good question. After reading this, it still looks like they are in a state of denial over there in Khartoum.

U.S. and Sudanese security agents are close to identifying a suspect in the shooting of an American aid official and his driver in Khartoum, Sudan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Monday.

A group calling itself Ansar al-Tawhid in Sudan (Companions of Monotheism) later posted a message on a militant website claiming responsibility for the murders.

But al-Sadig played down the claim. "It is not being ignored. But it is not being taken too seriously. The claim should be treated with caution," he said.
Sudan's state media agency SUNA also quoted "authorised sources" as saying that similar online claims had proved false in the past.

Meanwhile, John Granville's funeral services are planned for Wednesday in his hometown and a scholarship has been established in his name. And the Buffalo News has an opinion piece urging the US government to Pursue Granville's killers. I agree.
