05 May 2008

Reports from Darfur say an air raid by the Sudanese army has killed at least 13 people and wounded others, including children.

Aid groups and rebel representatives say a Sudanese military plane bombed the village of Shegag Karo in North Darfur state on Sunday.

The Sudanese army has not commented.

Five years of fighting in Darfur between rebels, the Sudanese government and government-backed militias has killed an estimated 200,000 people and displaced some 2.5 million others.

Some information for this report was provided by Reuters.
