LONDON, Sept 5: A millionaire British arms dealer is fuelling a bloody civil war in Sudan by arranging to supply its government with tanks, rocket launchers and a cruise missile, the Sunday Times in London said.

John Knight, a businessman from Kent, south England, stands to make 2.25 million pounds by providing Sudan with enough hardware to equip a small army, the newspaper said.

Knight, who has close links with Britain's defence ministry, is believed to have breached EU and British sanctions by organizing the deal, it said. Documents show that the deal includes 50 Soviet T-72 tanks. -AFP
