KHARTOUM, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Five members of Sudan's General Intelligence Service (GIS) were killed on Tuesday during an anti-terror operation in the capital Khartoum, the GIS said.
Based on information about the presence of a terrorist cell belonging to the Daesh (Islamic State), a security operation was carried out to arrest the group in Khartoum's Jabra neighborhood and al-Azhari neighborhood, the GIS said in a statement.
The operation resulted in the arrest of 11 foreign terrorists of different nationalities, it said.
During the raid in the Jabra neighborhood, five GIS agents, including two officers and three non-commissioned officers, were killed by the terrorists, while another officer was wounded in the gun fight.
A group of four foreign terrorists fled the scene, and a manhunt had been launched by the security authorities to catch them, the GIS said. Enditem
