UNITED NATIONS: - The UN Security Council has condemned "in the strongest possible terms" the July 8 attack on UN-African Union (AU) peacekeepers in Sudan's Darfur.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, the 15-member body expressed its concern that the largest ever attack on the force so far was "premeditated, deliberate and intended to inflict casualties."
