Sudan''s intelligence denies cooperating with US in Somalia, Iraq
Politics    6/12/2007 10:35:00 PM
 
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) hha.ayh KUNA 122235 Jun 07NNNN
