32 Die When Sudanese Helicopter Crashes

Thirty-two people were killed when their helicopter went down in Sudan.

Among the dead were the six crew, the Minister of Endowment Ghadi al-Sadeq, former presidential adviser Makki Balayel, two generals, and a crew from the national TV.

They were headed to South Kordofan to give prayers on the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan.

Harsh weather conditions, including heavy rains, caused the helicopter to crash into a mountainside.
