Tense calm descends on Khartoum after bloody riots

Security forces restored a tense calm to the Sudanese capital on Tuesday, a day after 36 people were killed in bloody riots sparked by the death of Sudanese vice-president and former southern rebel leader John Garang. Three days of national mourning were declared following his death, but it was not immediately clear when or where his funeral will be held.
