From Yahoo News/Reuters:KHARTOUM (Reuters) – Sudan's army said on Wednesday it had bombed rebel positions in Darfur, a rare admission of air attacks in the western region.
Tension is growing in Darfur ahead of an expected ruling within weeks by the International Criminal Court on whether to issue an arrest warrant against Sudan's President Omar Hassan al-Bashir on charges of war crimes in the region.

"The Sudanese army has bombed this area to protect the Sudanese civilians living in this area," a spokesman said.
