Sudanese authorities have detained 14 people on suspicion of crimes, including rape and murder, committed in the war-wracked western region of Darfur. According to Justice Minister Ali Muhammad Usman Yasin on Monday, the detainees were mostly from the army, security and police forces in South Darfur and not from the numerous Janjawid militias blamed for many of the abuses in the region. "They are accused of rape, arson and other crimes and will go on trial very soon," Yasin said, adding that he was unsure of the precise date of their arrests.

Official media announced on Sunday that Sudan planned to try at least 164 suspects for Darfur crimes - 14 of them in South Darfur and 150 in North Darfur. But Yasin took issue with the latter figure. "That report was inaccurate, because, while 14 people have indeed been arrested in South Darfur, the 150 people in North Darfur have not been arrested or charged but are merely witnesses in various cases unconnected to the crimes in Darfur," the minister said.

#4 Private to Sarge: Wow, that was some fun last night! Where'd you get the money for the hooker?

Sarge to Private: Thanks. It's the least we could do. Where you're going they don't allow booze or hookers.
