KHARTOUM: Thirteen Sudanese police officers were killed and 30 wounded in clashes with an armed gang as they attempted to rescue three hostages in the war-torn Darfur region, a police spokesman said on Friday.
“What happened yesterday involved an armed gang, not a rebel group. The police tried to release three hostages in eastern Jebel Marra. Clashes broke out with the gang and we lost 13 men and 30 others were wounded,” Ahmed al-Tughani told AFP.
