A Sudanese health worker and four other Sudanese civilians were killed when at least three bombs were dropped by government aircraft on the village of Nimne in southern Sudan, the international medical aid organization Doctors Without Borders said Friday. James Koang Mar, who was employed by the organization, worked in a primary health care unit in Nimne. He and four other civilians were killed last Sunday, the same day that another town in southern Sudan, Akuem, was bombed hours after a food airdrop by the U.N. World Food Program. Two children were killed in that attack. – AFP
