Khartoum: Two Iranian warships Wednesday left Sudan after their three-day
visit "in support of political and diplomatic ties between the two
countries", the Sudanese defence ministry said.
The vessels docked in the Port of Sudan on the Red Sea Monday,
days after Sudan accused Israel of an air raid on the Yarmouk arms
factory in the south of Khartoum, which killed at least two
people.
The warships were opened for public access for a day during the
visit, the ministry said.
Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Karti earlier denied any link
between the visit of the Iranian task force and the alleged
Israeli attack on the Yarmouk plant last week, saying it was a
routine friendly visit in line with international regulations.
Sudan has also denied unconfirmed media reports suggesting that
the plant produced weapons for Iran, Syria, and radical Islamist
groups Hamas, Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad.
Israel, which suspects Sudan of smuggling weapons to the Hamas-controlled
Gaza Strip via Egypt, has refused to comment on Khartoum's
allegations about the factory blast.
