US officials made it clear they expected Sudan to capture and punish four prisoners who escaped after being sentenced to death for the 2008 murders of a US diplomat and his driver.
The four Sudanese Islamists escaped on Thursday from the Kober jail in northern Khartoum, a security source in the Sudanese capital told AFP.
The escapees exchanged fire with police at the Abu Halif checkpoint, southwest of Omdurman, police spokesman General Mohammed Abdel Majid al-Tayeb said Friday.

Yusef, a former military officer, also accused the United States of killing Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Islamic law condemns murder, regardless of the nationality or religion (of the victim)," the judge countered. Some Muslim scholars say a Muslim can be punished, but not executed, for killing a non-Muslim.
NEED I SAY MORE??
One of the four is the son of a leader of pacifist Islamist group Ansar al-Sunna, which is linked to Wahhabism — a hardline form of Sunni Islam practised mainly in Saudi Arabia — but is not involved in politics.
Sure thing.
wahhabi’s have nothing to do with politics what so ever.
Sure thing.
A muslim country let muslims who murdered Christians escape, and now they can't find them.
I'm shocked and astonished.
They just need to get as far as San Francisco and then they’ll be safe.
Obama-rules. You cannot kill a muslim because he killed a Christian.
and a christian cannot slap a muslim in war...
His “lack of war on terror” is just another ploy to dwindle Americas wallet.
Why do I think that this would have been handled differently if the diplomat was Russian?
If the diplomat had been Russian, Khartoum would be a glass crater.
Wow,they allow prisoners to carry guns in the Sudan? NRA must be really strong there.
This story has been seen several times in Yemen as well.prisoners exchanging gunfire with guards.
wahhabi’s aren’t peaceful either.
They didn’t escape. The were probably escorted out with a handshake.
Too true.
wahhabis and salafists are one in the same and I’m aware of that, thank you.
There is a precedent for murdering American diplomats in Sudan. It brings rewards.
Yasser Arafat directly and personally ordered the murder of two US diplomats in the Sudan- U.S. Ambassador to Sudan Cleo Noel and Charge D’Affaires George Curtis Moore.
He became an honored White House guest many times.
I wonder if they were tacitly ALLOWED to escape? Would not suprise me if a Muzzie was helping out a fellow Muzzie.
Will the _resident emote anger at this?
