 The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will help Sudan with enquiries into a failed assassination attempt against Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok

 “A team of American experts arrived this morning, they will join the investigation team. We needed them because they have much more modern experiences and techniques than we have,” Sudanese Information Minister Faisal Mohammd Salih told a news briefing.

 Sudan has arrested a number of suspects including foreigners over the attempted killing, said Salih, without giving details.

 Initial investigations showed that a homemade explosive device planted on a roadside was used in the attack, the Sudanese interior ministry said.
