UNAMID representative Ibrahim Gambari strongly condemned the attack and stressed it constituted a war crime.
He committed UNAMID to immediately work closely with the Sudanese authorities to arrest the perpetators and bring them to justice.
Since the initial deployment of UNAMID on 31 December 2007, 35 peacekeepers have been killed as a result of hostile action.
