KHARTOUM — A hospital operated by a U.S. relief group in Sudan was bombed March 6 for the second time in six days, prompting sharp criticism of the Khartoum government, including a protest by the U.S. special envoy to Sudan a day after wrapping up his four-day visit to the country.
“The government of Sudan just continues to demonstrate that they are a terrorist nation,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse and son of Billy Graham. Samaritan’s Purse operates the bombed hospital. “For more than 25 years, Samaritan’s Purse has helped people all over the world recover from wars of hatred, but this is the first time we’ve ever been so blatantly and continuously attacked by the government of the very people we are trying to help.”
No one was killed in Monday’s attack. Two people were killed in a March 1 bombing at the hospital.
