Sudan bombs north Darfur town: rebelsBy Andrew Heavens
KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudanese government planes bombed a rebel-controlled town in Darfur on Monday, an insurgent group said, hours after the government said it was investigating a bloody rebel raid on one of its bases last month.
Abu-Bakr Mohammed Kadu, a field commander in the Sudanese Liberation Army's Unity (SLA-Unity) faction, said government aircraft bombed Haskanita then ground forces entered the town in north Darfur.
"The clashes are still going on," he told Reuters just after 4.30 p.m. local time (9:30 a.m. EDT). He said Haskanita was predominantly a civilian area but could not give an estimate of casualties.
