The Sudanese government has unveiled new information about a ruling issued against Khartoum in connection with the bombing of USS Cole.
In statements on Friday, Ambassador Ali Al Sadeq said that the Attorney General in New York has filed a petition to accept a request by Sudan to reopen the case.
The move opens the door before Sudan to submit its pleadings, Sadeq said.
The US federal court in Washington in 2012 ordered Sudan to pay $314.7 million to the families of 17 sailors killed in the attack carried out by two Yemeni militants in October 2000.
The plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in 2010 against Sudan in Washington, DC, claiming the country had provided material support for al Qaeda, thus facilitating the bombing.
