Attack on Sudan PM condemned

Newsday

Available for over a year

The Sovereign Council in charge of Sudan has condemned an assassination attempt on the country's prime minister, Abdalla Hamdok. It says it might call in international help. His motorcade was targeted with explosives as well as automatic weapons but no one was hurt in the attack. Mr Hamdok, a former UN economist, was appointed to head Sudan's transitional government last August, a few months after the overthrow of long-time President Omar al-Bashir. Sudan analyst Gillian Lusk told 91福利社 Newsday she was not surprised by the attack. (Pic: Sudanese Prime Minister, Abdalla Hamdok; Credit: EPA)
