A gas leak in a Sudanese market sent more than 200 people to hospital on Friday, police and a medic said, but there were no fatalities. The incident occurred in Khartoum's twin city of Omdurman when a vagrant youth removed the lock on a gas cylinder at a scrap metal shop, police said in a statement. "Two hundred and two people were injured and taken to hospital," they said. A doctor at Omdurman hospital confirmed more than 200 people were admitted, "some in a critical condition." Most were examined and released but more than 40 were still at the hospital late Friday afternoon, the doctor said. A large contingent of police was stationed around the hospital. From: Ahram online
