Sudan on October 24 accused Israel of carrying out missile strikes against a military factory that killed two people in Khartoum overnight and threatened to retaliate. “We think Israel did the bombing,” Culture and Information Minister Ahmed Bilal Osman told a news conference. “We reserve the right to react at a place and time we choose.” Osman said four radar-evading aircraft conducted an attack at around midnight (2100 GMT) on the Yarmouk military manufacturing facility in the south of the Sudanese capital. Evidence pointing to Israel was found among remnants of the explosives, he said, adding that the Cabinet would hold an urgent meeting at 8 p.m. “The attack destroyed part of the compound infrastructure, killed two people inside and injured another who is in serious condition,” he said. There have been other mysterious blasts in Sudan — and allegations of Israeli involvement.
