A hazardous way to make a living, it turns out:
A government minister in Sudan is accusing the United States Air Force of killing dozens of people in that north African country this past January – but the semi-official American version of the story is very different.
CBS News national security correspondent David Martin has been told that Israeli aircraft carried out the attack. Israeli intelligence is said to have discovered that weapons were being trucked through Sudan, heading north toward Egypt, whereupon they would cross the Sinai Desert and be smuggled into Hamas-held territory in Gaza…
In the airstrike in Sudan – said to have been “in a desert area northwest of Port Sudan city, near Mount al-Sha’anoon,” according to SudanTribune.com – 39 people riding in 17 trucks were reportedly killed.
The first government official in Sudan to talk about it was the state minister for highways, Mabrouk Mubarak Saleem, who said: “A major power bombed small trucks carrying arms – burning all of them. It killed Sudanese, Eritreans, and Ethiopians and injured others.”
Interesting that this only breaks in March. I wonder who did it?
Did what? I have no idea what you’re talking about….?
Good on “whoever” did this.
Hmmm – sounds like the Israeli’s might be getting some long-range strike live fire practice in…
I don’t know nothing about it, but yeah, it sucked to be them.
Go IAF!
There goes Karl Rove again.
Steve,
It’s Bush’s fault. Just gotta be!
