US Diplomat Wants 'Credible' Probe Into Sudan Crackdown

Associated Press

   KHARTOUM - The top U.S. diplomat to Africa said there must be an
   "independent and credible" investigation into the Sudanese military's
   violent dispersal of a protest camp in the capital earlier this month,
   and the ruling military council said it would announce the findings of
   its own investigation on Saturday.

   Sudan's security forces violently swept away a camp in Khartoum on June
   3 where demonstrators had been holding a sit-in, with over 100 people
   killed and hundreds wounded since then, according protest organizers.
   Authorities have offered a lower death toll: 61, including three
   security forces.
