BENTIU, Sudan (AP) - A Darfur rebel group claimed it attacked an army garrison in a Chinese-run oil field in central Sudan on Tuesday, forcing more than 1,000 soldiers to flee the area.
Khalil Ibrahim, leader of Darfur's rebel group the Justice and Equality Movement, said the attack by his group and local Arab tribesmen was meant to drive away Chinese oil companies operating in Sudan.
Two rebels were killed and several injured in the attack, Ibrahim said. He claimed many more government forces were killed and injured but he had no specific figures.
