A Sudanese court on Wednesday sentenced 11 members of the Darfur rebel Justice and Equality Movement to death for a 2008 attack on the Sudanese capital.
Five other defendants were acquitted and will be freed, the court said.

More than 70 rebels have now been sentenced to death for the bold attack in which more than 200 people were killed, including JEM leader Khalil Ibrahim's half brother Abdel Aziz el-Nur Ashr. None of those sentenced has yet been executed.

The rebels drove hundreds of miles across desert and scrubland to reach the capital and were only a few kilometres from the presidential palace when government troops halted them.
"We sentence them to the death penalty by hanging," judge Issam Ismail said on Wednesday after the individual verdicts were read out, to shouts of protest from the condemned men.
The men were found guilty of 12 charges, including treason, violence against the state and illegal possession of weapons.
Their lawyer launched an appeal against the verdict and questioned the legality of the specially created terrorism courts.
