Adjust font size:

The Sudanese government termed on Sunday night the Saturday's attack by rebels in Khartoum as a "terrorist operation for sabotage," announcing that the operation had "finished."

The remarks made by Kamal Obeid, the minister of state in the Sudanese Ministry of Information and Communications, following an emergency cabinet meeting chaired by President Omer al-Bashir.

"This terrorist operation for sabotage was plotted by Chad and carried out by Khalil Ibrahim, the leader of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM)," Sudanese official told reporters.

The JEM is believed to have the most powerful forces among rebel groups in the western Sudanese region of Darfur, which amount to over two dozens.

Kamal Obeid also admitted the existence of a "fifth fleet," referring to collaborators of the JEM rebels inside the regime without giving the details.

During the meeting, the cabinet listened to reports made by the ministers of defense and interior, according to Kamal Obeid.

"The Council of Ministers praised the big professional work performed by the armed security forces as well as the police, which led to the defeat of the rebelling forces," noted Kamal Obeid.

He said that the cabinet instructed the authorities concerned to collect the vehicles and weapons used by the rebels in the attack in order to show them to the public on the scale of the rebel operation.
