Unfreezing of businessman's assets shows up US "falsehood"

    STONE TOWN, ZANZIBAR

    Sudan has said that the US Treasury's decision on Monday to unfreeze the American assets of Saleh Idris, owner of the pharmaceutical plant destroyed in a US air raid last August, "testifies to the falsehood of the accusations against Sudan and to the erroneous attack on the factory on grounds that it produced chemical weapons". Junior foreign minister Ali
    Abdel Rahman Al-Nimeiri on Wednesday called on the US to pay compensation to those affected in the air strike and to reconsider all measures it has imposed on Sudan, "including all forms of political, economic and commercial sanctions".
