East African country says it has proof Israel attacked its munitions plant.
By Gil Ronen
Sudan's Information Minister, Ahmed Bilal Osman, has warned
that his country would take "resolute steps" against Israeli interests
following the bombing of an ammunitions factory in Sudan's capital, Khartoum.
Osman told the BBC that his country now sees
Israeli interests as legitimate targets for attack. He said that Sudan
possesses proof that Israel is behind the attack on the Yarmouk weapons
factory, and said that experts who combed the location of the blast
sound evidence that Israeli arms were used to destroy it.
Australia's ABC News
quoted the minister as saying: "We have to reply because this is too
much. This is the fourth time they have done this." Osman was referring
to an incident in May, in which one person was killed after a car
exploded in the eastern city of Port
Sudan, as well as a similar blast last year that was blamed on an
Israeli missile strike, and a fourth incident in eastern Sudan in 2009,
when a convoy was bombed.
"Definitely we are not going to attack Israel there," he
added, "but we have the means, we have the means of how we can reply.
They killed our people, these things are not cheap… and we know how to
retaliate."
Sudan has filed a complaint to the United Nations following the latest attack.
