More Sudan rebels face the noose

The unprecedented rebel attack is said to have left more than 220 dead

A Sudanese court has sentenced to death another 12 rebels from the Darfur region over an unprecedented attack on the capital, Khartoum, in May 2008.
They were found guilty of terrorism, murder and destroying public property.
The ruling raises to 103 the number of Justice and Equality Movement (Jem) fighters ordered hanged for the raid. None have been executed yet.
Sudan says more than 220 people died when Jem fighters drove across hundreds of miles of desert to attack Khartoum.
Mental institution
They were only fought off at a bridge a few kilometres from the presidential palace.
Special courts set up in the wake of the attack have been judging the alleged rebels in groups over the last few weeks.
One of the men sentenced to die on Tuesday in Khartoum is said to be the half-brother of Jem leader Khalil Ibrahim. A thirteenth man was reportedly sentenced to a mental institution.
A senior Jem official, Al-Tahir al-Feki, denounced the latest death sentences, telling AFP news agency they would only further hold back already troubled peace talks.
