US group: Sudan building up air bases near S. Sudan
A US satellite monitoring group said Friday that Sudan's military is upgrading air bases near the border with South Sudan and building up air resources in what could be a precursor to a widened aerial bombing campaign.
The report came one day after officials accused Sudan of bombing a refugee camp in South Sudan, which became the world's newest country only four months ago. The government of Khartoum denied Friday that there was even a camp housing northern Sudanese refugees who fled south for refuge, adding that its air force had not bombed any area of South Sudan.
