SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune - Sudan arrests suspects including foreigners involved in Hamdok’s assassination attempt
Sudan Tribune reports that the Sudanese government has arrested several people, including foreigners, on suspicions of involvement in the attempted assassination of Prime Minister Hamdok.
In February 2020, Sudanese security forces arrested a group of individuals manufacturing explosives in the Eastern Nile district of Khartoum state, including a foreigner.
The security forces stated that the militants belonged to an Islamist group and had arrived in Sudan six months earlier with forged Syrian travel documents to conduct explosive attacks which planned to kill Sudanese officials tasked with the dismantlement of the former regime.
