Official: Sudan launches 4 attacks on South Sudan
None
South Sudan repulsed four attacks from Sudan over a 24-hour period as fighting on the border showed no signs of slowing, a military official said Thursday. South Sudan military spokesman Col. Philip Aguer said three of the attacks were on Wednesday and one was on Thursday. He did not give a death toll.
In a further escalation of rhetoric, Sudan President Omar al-Bashir said South Sudan's recent military maneuvers have revived the spirit of "jihad" in Sudan. Despite the threats and hostilities, a government spokesman said South Sudan was only defending its territory and considers Sudan a "friendly nation."(AP)
