Hi Kids- True or False: Sudan army says rebels attack oil installations KHARTOUM, May 5 (Reuters) - Sudanese armed forces spokesman Lieutenant-General Mohammed Osman Yassin said on Wednesday opposition forces had attacked oil installations in the south and east. Yassin said in a statement read on state Radio Omdurman that the rebel Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA) had attacked Ler in Unity state in the south this month. Other ''traitors and agents'' had attacked Rasai in the eastern state of Northern Kassala on Tuesday. ''The attack on Ler targeted the country's oil production, while that on Rasai aimed at the oil pipeline and highway,'' Yassin said. He gave no details of damage or casualties. Sudan is building a 1,600-km (1,000-mile) oil pipeline from southern oil fields to Port Sudan and hopes to start oil exports by June 30, the anniversary of the 1989 coup that brought President Omar Hassan al-Bashir's Islamist government to power. The government-owned Al-Anbaa newspaper said on Wednesday the attack on Rasai was launched by Eritrean forces. It was the first such accusation since Sudan and Eritrea signed an agreement in Doha on Sunday to restore diplomatic relations and settle their differences peacefully. The SPLA said on Tuesday that oil wells operated by Canada's Talisman Energy Inc in southwestern Sudan were legitimate military targets since profits would help to finance the government's war effort. It was not immediately clear if the attacks reported by Yassin had affected any of Talisman's operations. The SPLA has been fighting government troops for more than 15 years in a revolt fuelled partly by Khartoum's attempts to impose Islamic law on the mainly Christian or animist south. 12:04 05-05-99 Copyright 1999 Reuters Limited.
