Sudan Death Toll Tops 100 as Bodies of Protesters Dredged from Nile River
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sudan, the death toll has risen to at least 100 following a deadly
raid on a protest camp in Khartoum Monday morning. That's according to
doctors who have been taking part in the ongoing anti-government
uprising, who say at least 40 bodies were dredged up from the Nile River
in the aftermath of the carnage. On Wednesday, the Transitional Military
Council said it had launched an investigation into the violence and
offered to resume a dialogue on a transition to democracy, just one day
after scrapping all agreements with an opposition alliance. We'll have
more on the crisis in Sudan after headlines.
