None
Four men sentenced to death for killing a US diplomat two years ago in the Sudanese capital escaped from the national prison through an old sewage pipe, the country's police chief said Friday.
The fugitives crawled through the pipe, which leads from the prison to a main street, on Thursday night, said police Lt. Gen. Mohammed Abdul-Rahim al-Tayeb. "The federal police are investigating the matter and searching for the fugitives," al-Tayeb said in a statement carried by the state news agency. (AP)
