UNITED NATIONS, Feb 3 (Reuters) - The United States is "gravely concerned" about Sudanese bombing raids on a Darfur town where government forces and rebels have clashed recently, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations said on Tuesday.
U.N. officials have said that at least 30 people had died and thousands forced to flee in more than two weeks of fighting between Sudanese government troops, rebels from the Justice and Equality Movement and other fighters in and around the south Darfur settlement of Muhajiriya.
"The United States is gravely concerned by reports of intense aerial bombardment," U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice told reporters after a closed-door meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Darfur and other issues.
Is it just me or is the US getting a little more involved in Darfur?
