The Sudanese Military shot at the Peacekeepers?
By Charlie
Is this a peacekeeping mission, or combat?
A Sudanese driver was seriously wounded when a supply convoy of the joint United Nations-African Union peacekeeping force was attacked Tuesday night in Darfur, the U.N.'s news portal reported. The attack was carried out by Sudanese soldiers, who fired on the convoy damaging a diesel truck and an armored vehicle. The United Nations-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) says it did not return fire and no UNAMID casualties were sustained in the attack.

Not much of an attack - two vehicles damaged, one wounded. Reporting elsewhere suggests the UN vehicles didn't stop when ordered. While the quality of UN troops is uneven, this could be either side's mistake.
