5 Indian UN troops killed in Sudan

Five Indian peacekeepers escorting a UN convoy in South Sudan were killed yesterday in an ambush by rebels, the Indian foreign ministry said.
Spokesman Syed Akbaruddin tweeted that the peacekeepers were serving with the UN Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (Unmiss).
An unnamed UN official told the AP news agency that seven civilians were also killed in the attack.
The violence happened in the state of Jonglei, a haven for armed groups.
Unmiss has been in South Sudan since the country's creation in 2011, with a remit to preserve peace and security.
Akbaruddin said four Indian soldiers were also wounded in the attack, and arrangements were being made to bring those killed back to India.
Correspondents say that Jonglei has been hit by widespread ethnic violence since South Sudan became independent from Sudan in July 2011 - with much of it taking place in Pibor county, where the UN peacekeeping force is based.
