[h=1]Sudanese editor beaten unconscious after calling for ties with Israel[/h] [h=2]Attack comes at end of day with especially bloody images from Gaza, but victim's newspaper was also targeted by gov't for its anti-corruption articles.[/h]
A Sudanese newspaper editor-in-chief who recently called on his country to forge ties with Israel, and whose newspaper has been shut down for criticizing government corruption, was beaten unconscious Saturday night by armed men who broke into the newsroom, AFP reports.
The attack on Al-Tayar's Osman Mirghani by several gunmen took place at the end of a day that produced especially wrenching images of Gazans killed in the fighting with Israel.
A few days ago Mirghani had gone on local television and called for Islamist Sudan to normalize relations with Israel.
