A 12-year-old girl was killed and four other people were wounded in several grenade attacks earlier this month in a Sudanese city near the border with Eritrea, a newspaper reported Tuesday. 

The authorities were investigating the attacks, which occurred October 9-11 in Kassala, Al Ayam daily said, hinting the authorities suspect Sudanese rebels based just across the border in Eritrea. 

The independent daily said a grenade went off in a Kassala residential area on October 9, killing a girl and wounding a woman and a man, while another grenade exploded on October 10 in another neighborhood, injuring three men. 

It said a third grenade went off on October 11 in yet another part of the city, causing no casualties – KHARTOUM (AFP)
