A Sudanese soldier shot an aid worker in the West Kordofan region, underlining the danger facing those trying to help 1.8 million people displaced by conflict in neighbouring Darfur, an aid agency said on Saturday. CARE International said in a statement its clearly marked vehicle was fired on without warning on Thursday morning during a visit to a water and sanitation project in West Kordofan, which borders the troubled Darfur area. "The bullet, fired by a Sudanese soldier, struck and wounded a CARE staff member who received medical treatment and is in good condition," the statement said. "Sudanese military authorities subsequently apologised to CARE for the incident."CARE said it was the only agency working in the Kordofan region. "CARE is currently reviewing the implications of the incident for its staff safety and security in this area, where we have evacuated our staff twice during the past six months due to rebel activity, including a direct attack on a CARE office."
