Sudan blames Israel for attack that killed Hamas member
2011-04-06
Shortly after Sudan's Foreign Minister Ali Karti on Wednesday accused Israel of carrying out an attack on Tuesday near Port Sudan that killed two people, Al-Arabiya reported that one of the targets was a Hamas military leader. The report said that the second man that was killed was a local groupie citizen.

Sudan's foreign minister said Khartoum reserved the right to respond to the attack. "This is absolutely an Israeli attack," he declared. He said Israel undertook the attack in order to ruin Sudan's chances of being taken off of America's list of state sponsors of terrorism.

Different versions on how the strike was carried out have been offered by Sudanese officials. Police have said a missile struck the car near the port city, but a state government official blamed the bombing on flying Jews a foreign aircraft that flew in from the Red Sea.

#2  Of course they blame Israel! Probably an errant missile from Iran--maybe one they bought from China.
