Khartoum: Sudanese state television reported on Sunday that the rebel leader who led the assault on the Sudanese capital Khartoum is now hiding somewhere in the city.

For the first time, a picture has been shown on state television of Justice and Equality Movement leader Khalil Ibrahim.

Citizens are asked to call a special hotline if they see him.

Hundreds of Darfur rebels assaulted the Sudanese capital late on Saturday. The government said it repulsed the attack with heavy losses to the rebels.
