Sixty dead in crackdown on Sudan protesters: Doctors

Sixty people have been killed in a two-day crackdown on Sudanese protesters carried out by troops and paramilitaries, a doctors' committee close to the demonstrators said on Wednesday.

A previous toll given by the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors had counted 40 dead since the security forces bloodily dispersed a weeks-long sit-in outside army headquarters in Khartoum on Monday.
