KHARTOUM: Sudanese forces raided a training camp of militant Islamists in a remote southeastern corner of the country, killing two insurgents, a government official said yesterday.
Ahmed Abbas, governor of Sudan’s Sennawr state, said government forces had attacked the camp in a national park on Friday after a radical Islamist group attacked a nearby police station and stole weapons in October.
After this attack, security authorities tracked them and found their camp headquarters,” he said. “Two Islamists were killed and four police officers wounded during the raid on Friday.”
State radio said 25 people had been arrested during the raid.
