Sudan says it may respond to what it denounces as a recent Israeli airstrike, which killed two people in the northeast of the country.
Foreign Minister Ali Karti said Sudan reserves its right to react to the 'Israeli attack' near Port Sudan, the country's main port city, Reuters reported on Wednesday.
The missile attack reportedly destroyed a car, killing both its occupants. Israeli Foreign Ministry's spokesman Yigal Palmor, however, has declined to comment on the matter.
Karti said Israel had carried out the attack on the false claim to prevent transfer of weapons to the Gaza Strip, reaffirming Khartoum's denial of arms transfer to the coastal sliver.
Tel Aviv has been imposing a total siege on the Gaza since mid-June 2007, claiming it seeks to block shipment of weapons into the impoverished enclave.
The restrictions have been depriving Gaza's 1.5 million Palestinians of food, fuel, medicine and other necessities. They even prevent the entry of construction materials into the region -- largely in ruins from Israeli attacks.
The Tuesday attack served to remind a January 2009 strike by an unidentified aircraft on a convoy in Sudan, which killed a total of 119 people.
This is a big deal, historically. China, in all of its 5000 years of history, has NEVER had a warship in the Mediterranean. Obviously the Chinese people are going ape about this. They're immensely proud at throwing their weight around, even a little bit. The Med is Europe's area. The 1840s Opium War happened yesterday, as far as many Chinese are concerned.
The frigate was on anti-piracy patrol off Somalia (which is as far as Zheng He got) when the Libya crisis happened. Went through the Suez Canal, another first as far as I know.

Zheng He is worth reading about. He died in 1433, a few years after traveling to East Africa with his fleet & returning with African animals for the imperial zoo. Shortly after his death the Chinese emperor forbade oceangoing shipping, and the records of Zheng's last two voyages were destroyed. By 1499 the Europeans were establishing trading links past Somalia to India, and by 1854 European naval power was imposing upon the Chinese (in their view).
A big deal indeed.
#2
It's been one of my 'what ifs' of history that is intriguing. Had the Chinese not gone closed shop and instead embraced the explorations of Zheng He and had contacted the Europeans first and established functional trade links, what would have been the motivation of the Europeans to make the effort to Go East [or the Columbus model of Go West to Go East]. This would have been a far different world than the one we know. However the Chinese acted to culture* and here we are today.
* That is anti-mercantile and xenophobic [we have nothing to learn from the outsiders].
Libyan rebels have received a crucial financial boost, selling an estimated $125m (£77m) worth of oil to a Swiss trading company the first export of Libyan oil in nearly three weeks.
The 1m-barrel consignment is due to be loaded on to a tanker near the key eastern oil port of Tobruk on Wednesday. It will provide essential funds to bolster the political credibility of the revolutionary council, allowing it to pay wages to the large numbers of people who had relied on government salaries, as well as funding imports of food and, possibly, weapons. The sale will also help the revolutionary leadership project itself as a viable alternative to the regime in Tripoli.
A revolutionary council spokeswoman, Iman Bughaigis, declined to comment on the oil shipment, saying it was a security matter.
But the rebel leadership says Qatar has agreed to market oil from fields in the east of Libya which are no longer under Muammar Gaddafi's control. The Gulf state is one of four countries to recognise the revolutionary council in Benghazi as the legitimate representative of the Libyan people.
The oil was shipped from a terminal near Tobruk, close to the Egyptian border. Two other terminals further west, near Brega and Ras Lanuf, have been fought over for weeks and partially damaged.
As oil reached $122 a barrel, a two-and-a-half year high, there were reports of other tankers in the area, possibly waiting to see whether this order can be safely transported, in what the rebel forces hope will be the first of many oil exports.
The rebel-controlled Arabian Gulf Oil Company (Agoco), which severed ties with the state-owned National Oil Company and is therefore exempt from the sanctions against assets controlled by Gaddafi's government, is thought to have an additional 2m barrels of oil stored at Tobruk's terminal worth about $250m at current prices. The Gaddafi-controlled parts of Libya have not exported any oil since 18 March.
In time, Agoco should be able to increase its daily output to about 150,000 barrels about $18m worth according to Samuel Ciszuk, senior Middle East energy analyst at consultancy IHS Global Insight.
This is well below the 300,000 to 400,000 barrels Agoco was producing before the insurgency foreign experts have fled the country, while the fighting has left many Libyan workers unwilling or unable to continue but is still a very valuable source of income, Ciszuk says.
Ciszuk believes oil offers the rebels by far the most promising source of income as Libya has no other easily convertible commodity. As a result, the region can expect Gaddafi to step up attacks on oil fields and infrastructure, he said.
Although the destination of the oil cargo due to leave on Wednesday remains a mystery, it is known to have been acquired by Vitol, one of the world's biggest energy traders, and is likely to end up in southern Europe, which consumes four-fifths of Libya's oil.
Although the rebels are not known to have agreed any more oil exports, there are plenty of rumours that more deals could be signed soon.
"A couple of ships have been seen loitering around the area and there are various anecdotal reports from ship brokers," said Michelle Wiese Bockman, markets editor of Lloyd's List, who was hung up on when she called the Suezmax tanker to ask where its oil consignment was going.
"This is a particularly sensitive shipment. I don't very often call up to ask a ship where it's headed but I've never been hung up on before."

It would be an enormous mistake for Qadaffy not to sink this ship.

QaDaffy is not an arab, keep this in mind when you think about the goings-on in Lybia. The mooks are lining up to screw him, they've been waiting for the chance for years.

QaDaffy is not an arab, keep this in mind when you think about the goings-on in Lybia[sic].
Qadaffi is an Arabized Berber, an ethnicity which is the result of conquest and intermarriage of a non-Arab (Berber, in this instance) population by Arabs, which also can be said for a majority of Libyans, and nearly all of northern Africa. The exception is the southern part of the country which has a mixture of Tuareg and Tebou.
So one really has to wonder who the 'mooks' are, unless they're the ubermenschen strain of Arab.
Libya's revolutionary administration has denied a claim by a British lawyer representing victims of IRA attacks and the Lockerbie bombing that it has apologised for Libya's involvement and offered compensation.
Following a meeting with the rebel council's leadership in Benghazi, Jason McCue, head of the Libya Victims Initiative, read a statement which he said was an "unequivocal apology" for Libya's provision of Semtex used in IRA bombings and the blowing up of the Pan Am flight.
McCue said the revolutionary council had agreed to pay compensation along the lines paid out in a deal between Muammar Gaddafi and the US government which provided $10m for a death and $3m for a serious injury. He said there was also agreement to set up a trust for other victims.
McCue said the apology and offer of compensation was in the name of chairman of its interim governing council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil.
But Abdul Hafiz Ghoga, its deputy chairman, said McCue's claims were "not true".
"We didn't apologise ourselves. We regret what happened, the catastrophic event of Lockerbie, and we will do our best to reach the truth with the families of Lockerbie. Also for the IRA. We emphasised to the British government that we will work to overcome what has happened. But there was no apology. We are not responsible," he said.
Ghoga said that the council "didn't negotiate anything about compensation".
"We want to know the truth. We will help the families of the victims to get to the truth," he said.
However, separately, the council said that it would "co-operate fully" to establish what had happened in the Lockerbie attack "and the right of the victims' families for justice".
Mustafa Gheriani, a council spokesman, was equally clear in his denial that an apology was made. He said they council had expressed sorrow but that Gaddafi was responsible and that it is he who should apologise.
"When we say sorry it means we did it. But we did not do it. Gaddafi did it. It's sorrow not an apology," he said.
I think I understand that. Problem is there are undoubtedly some in the rebel ranks today who did have something to do with it. How about handing those folks over?

Rebel-held eastern Libya is at risk of running out of currency within weeks, the head of the opposition's central bank has warned. Banks were short of local and foreign currency, said Ahmed el-Sharif, adding the asset freeze imposed on the Muammer Gaddafi regime was hurting its foes as well.
Power was being rationed in Benghazi, where many shops and businesses have been closed for almost two months. A fuel and cooking gas shortage was averted only with the arrival of supplies from Qatar.
"We are in a cash economy; all the cash is with the public," Mr Sharif said. "The banks will be empty in maybe two weeks."
The opposition has paid public sector salaries in areas it controls for February and March but will struggle to meet April's wage bill unless it can gain access to Libyan assets frozen offshore, he said. The monthly salaries for public sector workers in the east -- 80-85 per cent of the region's labour market -- is estimated at 250m dinars ($204m), he said.
That's a little strange: just what exactly do the 'public sector' employees do for the war effort?
Curbs have been imposed on bank withdrawals and a 750-dinar cap has been put on salaries, Mr Sharif said.
The rebels say the Benghazi branch of the central bank was being separated from Tripoli and could operate as the legitimate authority if it were no longer subject to the asset freezes.
Billions of dollars in Libyan assets have been frozen. The US Treasury Department said in February that $30bn in Libyan government assets had been blocked, while the UK said in March it had frozen a further $19bn.
In an effort to raise funds as the impact of the seven-week uprising becomes more severe, the opposition is hoping to export oil. A tanker chartered by Vitol, the world's largest oil trader, docked near the eastern city of Tubruq on Tuesday to take on about 1m barrels. The company, based in Geneva, declined to identify its client or say where the oil would end up. At current prices, the cargo is worth almost $126m.
Mr Sharif said he would advise the cessation of oil exports if the freeze continued to apply to the opposition. "You permitted Libya to sell oil. For what purpose? Just keep the price of oil down?" he said. "This is also a war against the Libyan people.
"If the west wants to protect Libyans they should protect them through every arena, economic, political and military," he added.
Agreed. Apply the embargo to Gaddafi's government. Let the rebels sell their oil on the open market, cash on the barrelhead. Do NOT set up a UN 'Food-for-Oil' program as it just encourages graft and corruption.
Then, give Gaddafi's assets seized abroad to the rebels. Let them spend the cash and Krugerrands.
All this with one big string attached: we help the rebels, the rebels come clean on who they are, what they're up to, and -- the big one -- they expel the al-Qaeda types amongst them. Do that and they can have all of Gaddafi's cash.

The oil shipment by the rebels should help their cash shortage.
WASHINGTON The Air Force secretary says the service has been spending about $4 million a day to keep 50 fighter jets and nearly 40 support aircraft in the Libya conflict, including the cost of munitions.
We could just post a bounty for Gaddafi's head, connected or not as Jerry Pournelle points out, and end up saving a lot of money.
Secretary Michael Donley tells reporters that the Air Force has spent $75 million as of Tuesday morning on the war. He says the U.S. decision to end its combat strike role in the conflict will cut costs, but he could not say by how much.
The total U.S. costs for the Libya air campaign as of March 28 were $550 million, not counting normal deployment spending.

WORLD NEWS > {Sonny-boy] GADDAFI WILL NEVER LEAVE LIBYA.
and
* SAME > [Russ Deputy PM Sergei Ivanov] UNREST IN MIDDLE EAST THREATENS RUSSIA'S OIL INTERESTS.
WORST-CASE SCENARIO FOR RUSSIA = "SOMALIZATION" OF LIBYA.
* SAME [old = AM]> CHINA BRINGING IN TROOPS ALONG LOC IN POK [PAK-Occupied Kashmir].
LONDON -- Its an offer that diplomats hope Muammar Gaddafis family and top aides cant refuse: If they publicly withdraw support for the Libyan dictators regime, the restrictions on their assets and travel plans could be made to vanish.
The US Treasury and Britains Foreign Office have spelled out the details of the proposal, and discussions are now under way at the European Union ahead of a meeting of foreign ministers next week. Talks on the proposed deal will also take place among UN Security Council members if any of those named under U.N. sanctions flee from Libya and renounce Gaddafi.
Gaddafis seven sons, a wife, his daughter, two cousins and other allies who have served him for much of his rule are all being given a chance to escape international blacklists and reclaim billions of dollars of seized funds.
But some critics recoil at the thought, wondering whether the incentives will set a bad precedent for giving billions back to possible plunderers or even if the measures will work to oust Gaddafi.
The EU will decide next week whether to lift a travel ban and asset freeze imposed on Moussa Koussa, the former Libyan foreign minister who escaped from Tripoli last week, flew into Britain and is now providing information to intelligence officers and government officials in the U.K.
There are talks going on this week ahead of meetings in Europe next week, a Foreign Office spokeswoman said. Its likely that EU diplomats will also discuss how to handle other potential defectors attracted by the terms of the international communitys deal.
The U.S. Treasury on Monday removed sanctions it had imposed against Koussa, saying lifting the measures should encourage others within the Libyan government to make similar decisions to abandon the Gaddafi regime.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague told lawmakers that anyone among the 25 people listed on an EU sanctions list and the 16 named in measures approved by the U.N. could escape the restrictions if they recant their backing for Gaddafi, and if allies agree their actions should be rewarded.
In the case of anyone currently sanctioned by the EU and U.N. who breaks definitively with the regime, we will discuss with our partners the merits of removing the restrictions that apply to them, Hague said.
The U.S. Treasury has 13 senior Libyan officials on a blacklist, including Gaddafi, his wife and sons, and plans to announce sanctions against other Libyan officials in the coming days.
Oliver Miles, a former British ambassador to Libya, said the offer to lift sanctions could help pile pressure on Gaddafi.
It will encourage people to defect and therefore reduce the political support which Gaddafi enjoys, Miles said. Thats the only way in which a solution is going to be reached.
Others arent convinced.
Its a carrot-and-stick tactic that frankly hasnt worked very well in the past, but were reaching a critical point that we have to try various approaches, said a European intelligence official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the discussions.
Miles said the most damaging move would be if any Gaddafi relatives took up the deal. If a close family member were to come out openly and defect, that would also be valuable, he added.

ROME -- Italy called on Yemens government to cease all forms of violence against demonstrators and open the way for peace talks on reforms, the foreign ministry said on Tuesday.
The foreign ministry is following with great concern the evolving situation in Yemen and strongly condemns recent episodes of violent repression that have killed and wounded victims, its statement said.
Italy said it hoped the legitimate aspirations of the Yemeni people for democracy and improved economic and social conditions were being heard and would lead to a peaceful and orderly transition.
Italy expects the Yemeni authorities to cease all forms of violence.
That should do it. Lunch?

North Korea appears to have begun maritime infiltration drills near the East and West Sea borders, according to South Korea's minister of defense.
Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin told lawmakers in the National Assembly on Tuesday that Seoul's military is closely monitoring the sea borders and that the North could possibly conduct some type of unexpected but limited attack.
He added that South Korea would respond strongly and promptly to any provocation, in line with its right to self-defense.

UNITED NATIONS: Drawing the United Nations' attention to perils of major powers' contradictory, discriminatory and vague approach to nuclear and security issues, Pakistan has called for transparent and uniform application of policies towards goals of non-proliferation, disarmament and sustainable peace.
Sane countries may have nuclear arms. Crazy countries like Pakistan may not
"A multitude of disputes and conflicts are lingering. The pursuit of doctrines and policies of containment, balance of power, unilateralism and pre-emption by global and regional powers, have combined to make the world a much more dangerous and unstable place than ever before," Pakistan's Permanent Representative to the UN, Abdullah Hussain Haroon, warned. He was making a statement at the 2011 Substantive Session of the United Nations Disarmament Commission.
I agree. Let's start fixing this by defanging your worthless country.
Underscoring some of the security challenges in the current world scenario, the envoy noted that not withstanding the end of the Cold War for over two decades, aspirations for a peace dividend and a just international order continue to remain elusive.
"This situation has also posed several challenges both to the disarmament and non-proliferation regime as well as to its multilateral deliberative and negotiating platforms."
In the area of nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, there are several negative developments, Haroon said and pointed out that most of the nuclear weapons states do not appear ready to foreswear nuclear weapons.
No. Really?
"In fact, some nuclear weapon states are seeking to develop new nuclear weapons, contravening their commitments and increasing the danger of the use of nuclear weapons; contrary to their rhetorical commitment to nuclear disarmament. Some nuclear weapon states are resisting commencement of negotiations on nuclear disarmament in the Conference on Disarmament," said Haroon.
In a reference to world powers granting an exceptional nuclear technology deal to India, the ambassador took swipe at the "blatant violations of national and international non-proliferation obligations by major states as manifested by their support for NSG waiver to one non-NPT state".
A deal you guys also wanted and didn't get, since the Indians are sane and sensible, and you guys aren't...
The ambassador lambasted the pursuit of "selectivity, exceptionalism, discrimination and double standards by major powers in the area of non-proliferation, for commercial and strategic considerations".

ISLAMABAD: British Prime Minister David Cameron wants closer ties with India and Pakistan, the countries which, he said, have enormous potential for mutual progress.
That would require Pakistan to give up being the 'Land of the Pure'...
The British premier said he believed time was ripe for the two countries to look even further beyond what divides them and embrace what unites them.
I know there are some who claim that in this part of the world, Britain will always side with India and that can be a source of tension. And of course, there have been accusations that in the past, countries in this region have been played off one against the other by the West, remarked Cameron while addressing students of the COMSATS University on Tuesday.
All of which is true...
I am clear this whole approach of choosing sides is not just wrong. Its also driven by old-fashioned thinking, he added.

Israel not invited to the discussions, because their opinion doesn't matter.
Jordon says the continuous building of illegal settlements by Israel on occupied Paleostinian lands is impeding efforts to resume talks with the Paleostinian Authority (PA).
The Paleostinian cause is the core to resolving all regional conflicts, Jordanian Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh told US Deputy Special Envoy for Middle East David Hale in Amman on Wednesday, Jordan's Petra news agency reported.
Highlighting efforts to resume the long-stalled talks between the two sides, Judeh condemned Israel's unilateral, illegal and provocative measures in the occupied Paleostinian territories, especially in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).
"Efforts must be undertaken to freeze these illegal construction activities immediately," he said, highlighting Jordan's efforts to resume PA-Israeli talks.
The latest round of direct talks between Israeli and PA negotiators was derailed by Tel Aviv's refusal to extend a temporary, partial freeze on its West Bank settlement projects after the moratorium expired last September.
Judeh and Hale underlined the need for negotiations to tackle all final-status issues according to certain mechanisms and within a clear timetable to arrive at a comprehensive solution.
For his part, Hale briefed Judeh on the outcome of talks which US President Barack B.O. Obama is holding with all stakeholders to overcome obstacles, in addition to preparations for the upcoming meeting of the Middle East Quartet ... The Quartet are the UN (xylophone), the United States (alto), the European Union (soprano), and Russia (shortstop). The group was established in Madrid in 2002 by former Spanish Prime Minister Aznar, as a result of the escalating conflict in the Middle East. Tony Blair is the Quartet's current Special Envoy.... -- which comprises of Russia, European Union, the UN and the US -- in Berlin.
On Monday, Israeli authorities approved the construction of 942 new housing units in Gilo, a settlement neighborhood in Jerusalem's mostly Arab eastern sector.
The move was condemned by the United Nations ... aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... on Tuesday, with the world body branding it as "illegal and contrary to the roadmap" adopted by the Middle East diplomatic Quartet.

Michael Griffin, who headed NASA during the last four years of the Bush administration, says the space agencys new goal to improve relations with the Islamic world and boost Muslim self-esteem is a perversion of NASAs original mission to explore space. NASA was chartered by the 1958 Space Act to develop the arts and sciences of flight in the atmosphere and in space and to go where those technologies will allow us to go, Griffin said in an interview Tuesday. Thats what NASA does for the country. It is a perversion of NASAs purpose to conduct activities in order to make the Muslim world feel good about its contributions to science and mathematics.
