KHARTOUM: A man attacked worshippers with a knife inside a mosque in Sudan’s eastern state of Kasala on Tuesday, killing three people and wounding several others, a police officer told AFP. Kasala police chief Yahi Sulayman said it took place when worshippers had gathered for evening prayers in a mosque in Kasala city which borders Eritrea. “Three people have been killed and several wounded,” Sulayman said. “People in the mosque then retaliated and killed the attacker,” Sulayman said, adding that the identity of the attacker had not been established. Since January Sudan has shut its eastern border with Eritrea, days after Khartoum declared an emergency in the state of Kasala.
