An American diplomat and his driver were shot to death in Khartoum.
An American diplomat and his driver were shot to death today in the Sudanese capital, the U.S. Embassy said. A spokesman said it "too early to tell" if the attack was terror related.The shooting came a day after a joint African Union-United Nations force took over peacekeeping in Sudan's Darfur region. Though Darfur, far to the west, is engulfed in violence, the Sudanese capital and its surroundings rarely see political violence or attacks by Islamic militants.
The Sudanese state news agency SUNA quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying the incident was "isolated and has no political or ideological connotations" and pledged to bring the culprits to justice.
Based on long-established State Department policy, will his killers and their backer will be ignored?
