A Sudanese government plane bombed a primary school in rebel-controlled southern Sudan, killing 13 students, Sudanese rebels said. Several teachers and students were injured when a Russian-made Antonov bomber dropped six explosives on and around the school in the town of Kaouda in the Nuba Mountains, 325 miles southwest of Khartoum, the capital, said Samson Kwaje, spokesman for the Sudan People’s Liberation Army. All of those killed were under 14, Kwaje said. Government officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
