NEW YORK: The US has announced a reward of $10 million for the capture of two Sudanese fugitives accused of killing a US diplomat and his driver in Sudan in 2008.
The American diplomat John Granville, who was working at US Agency for International Development (USAID), and his Sudanese driver Abdurrahman Abbas Rahama were killed when gunmen attacked their car after New Year's Eve celebration in Khartoum in 2008.
Four of the convicted men were sentenced to death, but they managed to escape from prison in June 2010. One of them was re-arrested, while another was reportedly killed in Somalia in 2011.
The leader of the attack, suspected to have links to a group calling itself "al Qaeda in the Land of the Two Niles", and another colleague are believed to be hiding in Somalia, according to the US State Department. (QNA)
