KHARTOUM, Jan 8 (Reuters) - Armed men opened fire on a U.N./African Union supply convoy in Sudan's Darfur region, the first attack on the newly formed joint peacekeeping mission, officials said on Tuesday.
A diplomatic source working in the region told Reuters Sudanese Army soldiers had fired at the UNAMID convoy late Monday, apparently confusing the peacekeepers for rebels. But the UNAMID spokesman Noureddine Mezni said they were still investigating the incident and could not confirm the identity of the attackers.
No one was immediately available for comment from Sudan's armed forces. One civilian Sudanese driver was in a critical condition after being shot seven times, once in the shoulder, UNAMID said in a statement.
"The convoy came under fire from the Government of Sudan forces," said the diplomatic source in Darfur.
"The road convoy was on a re-supply mission to UNAMID team sites in the area between Um Baru, Tine and Kulbus, an area which has witnessed violent clashes between the government of Sudan and rebel movements and where UNAMID air operations have been restricted due to the security concerns."
