Sudanese killed, buried in Yemen

HAJJAH, June 09 (Saba) - A Sudanese has been found dead in a Yemeni
northern coastal area, with locals saying he might be killed in a
police hunt for Sudanese illegal migrants and smugglers.

The dead, who has been buried in a Yemeni island after locals
informed the police about his death, arrived at the area along with
other Sudanese people, believed to have come from al-Rashaydah in
Sudan, local sources said Monday.

The Sudanese people had planned to infiltrate into Saudi Arabia, the
sources added.

And as they landed in Midy, Hajjah, the security forces rushed to
catch them while on two cars and it appeared one has been killed in
the hunt.

The authorities have not commented on the incident yet.

Last year, about 70 Sudanese people drowned in Yemen waters off
Hajjah, but details about their voyage were not given.

Yemeni fishermen found their bodies after the waves washed them up
on the Yemeni shore. They were buried immediately in a Yemeni island
near to the site.
