Sudanese customs men killed in clashes with smugglers

Four Sudanese customs men were killed and other three were wounded in clashes with smugglers at the Sudanese, Libyan and Chad borders on Monday.

A group of 25 smugglers had implanted an ambush for the customs men just 500 Km from Danqala city after they had left a big car in the desert and when the smuggling fighting force arrived in the site the smugglers opened fire on them and as a result four were killed and three were wounded. Then, the smugglers fled to the neighboring states using Land-cruise cars, and they were chased by the smuggling fighting forces. Mopping up operations still continue in the region in search of them.
