Mabrouk Mubarak Salim, Minister of State at the Sudanese Ministry of Transport claimed March 26 that the United States killed dozens of people when it allegedly bombed several small trucks carrying weapons in Sudan. CBS News, meanwhile, reported that Israeli aircraft carried out the attack after its intelligence apparatus discovered that the arms were destined for Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert responded "There is no point in elaborating ... Whoever needs to know, knows." The story on what actually occurred is still murky , but the fact that Sudan is cooperating with Iran to smuggle weapons for Hamas, and that Israel is working to cut off those supplies is not surprising. STRATFOR first revealed the Sudan-Egypt-Gaza supply chain during the Israeli offensive against Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Jan. 3.
