Chinese hostages ‘executed’ by Sudan kidnappers

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — The kidnappers of nine Chinese oil workers have killed five of the men, execution-style, a Sudanese Foreign Ministry spokesman says.

Ali Sadiq said two other kidnapped workers managed to flee their abductors, while two still remain in the hands of the kidnappers.


Sadiq told The Associated Press that the killing took place Monday and came “without provocation,” even though the kidnappers had threatened to kill the workers if their demands were not met.
