2008-07-08 Sudan: Ethiopia Launched Cross-border Raid, 19 Dead
KHARTOUM, Sudan (AFP)--Sudan on Tuesday accused neighbouring Ethiopia of
launching a cross-border military raid against police in which 19 Sudanese
people were killed.
"The Ethiopian army attacked a police base 17 kilometers from the Sudan-
Ethiopian border killing 19 people, including a police officer," said army
spokesman Othman Mohammed al-Agbash. "Ten people were injured."
A joint committee between the Sudanese government and Addis Ababa has been
established to investigate the matter, Agbash told state news agency SUNA.
The army spokesman provided no reason for the attack in the Jabal Hantub
area of Gedaref state, which lies on the northern part of the long
international border.
