Sudan accuses Israel of air raid, threatens action

SUDAN: Sudanese government officials met in urgent session after accusing Israel of a deadly missile strike on a military factory in Khartoum, 18 months after alleging a similar raid by the Jewish state.

The cabinet issued no statement after its Wednesday night meeting. Outside the government office about 300 protesters denounced the United States and carried banners calling for Israel to be wiped off the earth.

"The army of Mohammed is returning," they shouted.

Culture and Information Minister Ahmed Bilal Osman had earlier said four radar-evading aircraft carried out an attack at around midnight Tuesday (2100 GMT) on the Yarmouk military manufacturing facility in the south of the city.
