Sudan: Arrests made in death of US diplo
Good news regarding the New Year's Eve assassination of John Granville and his driver in Khartoum. According to the BBC, the men arrested were - wait for it - "fundamentalists"!
Authorities in Sudan have detained two people over the killing of a US diplomat and his driver in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum last month. Police arrested the suspects in a raid on a hideout in Omdurman, across the Nile from Khartoum, Sudan's official Suna news agency said.
Several people were wounded in a shoot-out during the raid.
Security services told Reuters news agency that the two men arrested on Saturday were part of a group that had plotted to bomb Western embassies in the Sudanese capital last August.
No details of the injured (including one of the perps) have been released and the "plotters" are still at large. "Interrogation is to start immediately" and I do like the sound of that.
