Two Rwandan peacekeepers were killed and a third was wounded in an attack in Sudan's war-torn region of Darfur on Saturday, in the second such deadly incident in as many days, a UN source said. "Rwandan soldiers were distributing water at the gate of a camp for the displaced in Shangil Tobaa when one or two armed men fired at them. Two soldiers were killed and one was wounded," he said on condition of anonymity.
Kamal Saiki, head of communications with the joint United Nations African Union Mission (UNAMID) in Darfur, contacted by AFP, confirmed the details of the incident in the town of North Darfur. On Friday, three Rwandan peacekeepers were killed in an attack by gunmen near a UNAMID base in Saraf Omra, also North Darfur. Twenty-two peacekeepers have now been killed since the mission's launch in 2004.
