An aid worker was killed on Thursday during fighting in the largest city of Sudan's troubled Darfur region, a humanitarian source told AFP. "One killed and three (wounded)," said the source, adding that the wounded were receiving treatment at the African Union-UN peacekeeping mission (UNAMID) hospital in Nyala city. The source said the victims appeared to be Sudanese but it was not immediately clear how the incident happened.
It occurred during a resumption of fighting in the centre of the city - Sudan's second-largest - after the killing overnight of a notorious local bandit who was also a paramilitary officer.
