Khartoum - Sudanese forces seized
explosives belts, guns including rifles fitted with silencers,
devices used to detonate explosives remotely and satellite
telephones in a raid on a property in the capital Khartoum, the
state news agency reported on Monday.
A contingent of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF),
acing on a tip, carried out the raid in al-Taif district of
Khartoum, the agency said.
It was not known if the weapons cache was linked in any way
to the country's current political crisis. The news agency did
not say if anyone was arrested or who owned the weapons.
Autocratic President Omar al-Bashir, who had been in power
for 30 years, was ousted last month by the military following
months of protests.
The demonstrations, which have been peaceful, have continued
as opposition groups demand that the military, which currently
rules through a Transitional Military Council, hand over power
to civilians.
