Sudanese Military Factory Bombed in Khartoum KHARTOUM, Sudan - Four aircraft bombed a military factory here on Wednesday, officials said, killing two people in an explosion and fire for which Sudan blamed Israel. Ahmed Belal Osman, the Sudanese minister of information, told reporters that the aircraft hit the Yarmouk complex, setting off a huge blast that rocked Khartoum, the capital, before dawn. "Four planes coming from the east bombed the Yarmouk industrial complex," Mr. Belal said. They used sophisticated technology. He did not elaborate. Mr. Belal referred to a 2009 attack on an arms convoy in Red Sea State in eastern Sudan, for which his government also blamed Israel. "We are now certain that this flagrant attack was authorized by the same state of Israel," he said. The main purpose is to frustrate our military capabilities and stop any development there and ultimately weaken our national sovereignty. He said his country might take the issue to the United Nations Security Council. A spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces declined to comment on the accusation. At the news conference, a military spokesman, Sawarmy Khaled, said two people were killed and one was seriously injured in the blast. Earlier, officials said some people suffered smoke inhalation. The blast sent exploding ammunition flying through the air, causing panic among neighbors of the factory. Abdelgadir Mohammed, 31, who lives nearby, said he and his brother heard a loud roar and left their house around midnight to check it out. "At first we thought it was more than one plane," he said. Then we thought it was a plane crashing because of how sharp the sound was. Then we saw a flash of light, and after it came a really loud sound. It was an explosion. On social media Web sites, Sudanese criticized the government for placing a factory with such large quantities of ammunition in a residential area. In 2009, a convoy carrying weapons in northeastern Sudan was targeted from the air, killing dozens. It is widely believed that Israel carried out the attack, hitting a weapons shipment headed for Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip. Sudanese parliamentarians denied that weapons were transported in the area, and Israel never confirmed or denied that it was responsible for that attack.
