U.S. diplomatic convoy fired on in Sudan as intense fighting continues between rival forces
CBSN
A U.S. diplomatic convoy was fired upon in Sudan Monday but those inside were unharmed, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters Tuesday. He called the incident "reckless" and "irresponsible."
Blinken, who is in Japan for a Group of Seven foreign ministers meeting, said a convoy of clearly marked U.S. Embassy vehicles came under fire and that preliminary reports indicate the attackers were linked to a powerful force fighting with the Sudanese army for control of the country for a third consecutive day. He said everyone in the convoy was safe and at home.
Blinken called for an immediate 24-hour ceasefire as a step toward a longer truce.
