200 killed in Khartoum attack $246m bounty for rebel leader Chad shuts border with Sudan Sudan-Chad tensions Rebel leader vows more attacks Sudan arrests opposition leader Govt: Sudan rebels defeated Curfew imposed in Sudan

New York - The UN Security Council has strongly condemned this weekend's rebel attack near Khartoum.

The council warned against any retaliation and urged Sudan and Chad to implement a peace deal they signed in March to suppress armed groups operating along their border.

Most Sudanese were shocked by the lighting assault on the capital over the weekend by rebels from the Justice and Equality Movement which is based in conflict-wracked Darfur, hundreds of kilometres to the west.

A statement approved by the 15 council members and read at a formal meeting on Tuesday stressed the urgent need for all parties to take steps to reach a political solution to the Darfur conflict.
