SUDAN BOMBS AID GROUP HOSPITAL
KHARTOUM (CWNews.com) - Sudanese government warplanes
dropped bombs on a missionary hospital in southern Sudan on
Tuesday, killing two people and injuring several others.
The Voice of Martyrs, which sponsored the hospital in
southern Sudan where rebels of the mainly Christian and
animist south are fighting a decades-long civil war against
the mainly Islamic north, said about a dozen bombs fell in
the area of the hospital. Tombek Marcello Daniel, who works
for Far Reaching Ministries in the region, was one of the
two people killed.
The VOM hospital was the third medical facility bombed by
Sudanese warplanes this month, in addition to a Christian
school where several children were seriously injured when
bombs were dropped there. Khartoum Bishop Max Gassis said
after that bombing that the radical Sudanese Islamic
government was targeting civilians to inflame sentiment
against rebels.
