UN Peacekeeper In Darfur Fatally Shot

U.N. peacekeeper in Darfur fatally shot Sat May 26, 11:34 AM ET


A United Nations peacekeeper who was among a small group of reinforcements sent to Darfur was shot to death at his residence — the world body's first casualty since its long-negotiated arrival in the troubled region, officials said Saturday.

Gunmen looted the home of the U.N. peacekeeper — an Egyptian lieutenant colonel — in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, and fatally shot him.
