U.N. official condemns army

From Times Wire ReportsNovember 19, 2006The Sudanese army and government-backed militias are committing acts of "inexplicable terror" against civilians, including children, in the Darfur region, the U.N.'s top humanitarian official said. The accusations by Jan Egeland came as Sudanese officials indicated they might backtrack from a deal for a mixed U.N. and African peacekeeping force. Egeland said violence in the western region is reaching its worst level since fighting erupted more than three years ago.
