Nine men from Darfur have been executed for the beheading of a Sudanese newspaper editor in 2006. They were hanged in a prison in the capital, Khartoum, in front of the relatives of the editor, Mohammed Taha. It was initially thought that Mr Taha had been killed by Islamists but a defence lawyer said an article in his newspaper had angered Darfur groups. His decapitated body was found on a dirt road a day after he had been abducted from his home in Khartoum.
