PIBOR (2 Apr.)

Authorities in Boma State have accused elements from neighboring Jonglei
State of killing six aid workers last week.UN officials said Saturday that
six humanitarian aid workers were killed as they travelled in a convoy from
the capital, Juba, to the eastern town of Pibor.

Boma Minister of Information John Achuan told Radio Tamazuj on Friday that
the security report confirmed that those who killed the aid workers along
the Juba-Pibor road hail from Bor.He further said the attack took place in
a border area between Jubek, Boma and Jonglei states, saying a joint
investigation carried out by security officials from Jubak and Boma states
confirmed that the killers crossed to Bor after the incident.

“According to our information, the vehicle has been driven to Bor after the
incident at a junction between Juba, Bor and Pibor, so the people were
killed and they took the car to Bor,” he said.“After the killing of those
people at the junction, the vehicle with its number plate 951 RSS NGO
headed to Bor, so that means they are still creating roadblocks and this is
one of the things we will discuss in the upcoming peace conference,” he
added.

Radio Tamazuj could not reach government officials from Jonglei to comment
on the matter.
