"9 Chinese workers abducted in Sudan" by Sarah El Deeb, Associated Press | October 20, 2008
KHARTOUM, Sudan - Nine Chinese oil workers were kidnapped in an oil-rich region of southwestern Sudan in the latest attack on China's interests in the African country, officials said yesterday.
Sudanese officials blamed a Darfur rebel group for Saturday's kidnapping, calling it a stab at development efforts in Sudan. The attack took place outside the western Darfur region, and none of the Darfur rebel groups, who have fought the central government for five years, claimed responsibility.
Well that sure is odd. It STINKS of WESTERN INVOLVEMENT!!!
But the rebels have targeted Chinese interests outside Darfur in the past, saying the Asian power's massive investments in Sudan's oil sector help the government in its fight in Darfur. A year ago, one of the Darfur rebel groups warned Chinese and other oil firms to leave the country.
It was the third attack on Chinese targets over the past 12 months. International human rights groups and Darfur activists have also grown more critical of China's relationship with Sudan, saying the close ties help fuel the bloodshed in Darfur, which has left as many as 300,000 dead and driven more than 2.5 million from their homes since 2003.
Of course, that isn't the focus of the article -- although it is a good time to get out the club and beat the people over the head with Darfur -- as it just as quickly fades away in my agenda-pushing, war-promoting, Zionist-controlled War Daily!
China buys nearly two-thirds of Sudan's oil, and oil sales account for 70 percent of the African country's export revenue. Beijing is also believed to be the provider of most of Sudan's small arms, many of which are used in Darfur. Beijing, which has veto power in the UN Security Council, has resisted tough Security Council action against Sudan over the conflict.
But don't you mind the WORLD RECORD HOLDER for VETOS: The U.S. (at the order of their Zionist Israeli masters)!!!! Palestine, Mo-Fos!!!!
The kidnapping occurred in the Kordofan region, which neighbors Darfur to the east and is the epicenter of Sudan's oil industry. The Sudanese commissioner of the Abyei region, Mohamed al-Dourik Bakhat, told the government-linked Sudan Media Center the kidnappers were from the Darfur rebel Justice and Equality Movement. --more--"
Why do I suspect that THEY are U.S. Proxies, readers?

Oh, yeah, that is why: Zionist MSM silence on those weapons shipments! Now, if it were Iran shipping them, well, the prop be blasted all over the Zionist War Dailies pages!
