Seven UN peacekeepers killed in Darfur
Gunmen have ambushed a United Nations peacekeeping team in Sudan’s western region of Darfur, killing seven and wounding another 17 in the deadliest ever single attack on the international force in the country.
The assault included sustained heavy fire from machine guns and possibly rocket-propelled grenades, targeting the force some 25km west of the town of Khor Abeche, UN forces spokesman Chris Cycmanick said.
