Sudan's military leader General Abdel-Fattah Burhan on Saturday dismissed Western threats of sanctions and said meetings between Sudanese and Israeli officials were part of security cooperation rather than political in nature. First interview since coupIn his first interview on state television since the coup, Burhan said Washington was receiving inaccurate information. Burhan said he took personal responsibility for investigations of protester deaths and that five or six were ongoing. The military had met resistance committees that are leading the protest movement, and they agreed on many points, he said. Meetings with IsraelisBurhan said meetings between Israeli and Sudanese officials since the coup had not been high-level and only involved the security and intelligence apparatus.
