Darfur town razed after deadly attack on peacekeepers
2007-10-08
A Darfur town has been burnt to the ground since it came under the control of Sudanese troops this week, the UN said Sunday. Observers who inspected the town of Haskanita say 15,000 civilians have fled since the army moved in.

The UN said Sudanese government forces took control of the area after suspected Darfur rebels attacked the nearby AU base a week ago, killing 10 peacekeepers. The destruction of the largely ethnic African town some 150 meters from the base appeared to be in retaliation for the earlier attack.

Word, OP.

Or a convenient reason.

#4  Nimble, a few were worse - nothing standing over one story. My dad had some photos of Worms that show the cathedral as the only building relatively undamaged.

#1  That picture reminds me of the South Bronx back around 1970, but I don't remember any tanks.
