KHARTOUM, June 12 (KUNA) -- Sudan's Security and Intelligence service
denied Tuesday claims made by media outlets that it cooperated with the US in
espionage operations in Iraq and Somalia.
In a press statement, one of the service's officials said Sudan's
anti-terrorism cooperation with the US does not go beyond international
accords through cooperating within geographical borders without breaching the
sovereignty of other nations.
All cooperation takes place within Sudan's borders with the aim of ensuring
the safety of US citizens, he noted.
Claiming that this cooperation takes place in Somalia and Iraq lacks
credibility and has ill intentions against Sudan and the service, he added.
On Monday, the US-based Los Angeles Times newspaper said Sudan allowed its
agents to collect information for the US about insurgents in Iraq. It quoted
anonymous intelligence sources who said that Sudan has become increasingly
valuable to the US since the September 11 attacks because the Arab nation is a
crossroads for militants making their way to Iraq and Pakistan.
The paper added "That steady flow of foreign fighters has provided cover
for Sudan's Mukhabarat intelligence service to insert spies into Iraq,
officials said." (end)
