Khartoum: Senior US officials have flown in to Sudan to review security at their embassy following the killing of a US aid official in Khartoum, officials said on Sunday.
The US Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Linda Thomas-Greenfield arrived in Khartoum with the Director General of the US Foreign Service Harry Thomas, officials said.
"They are here to talk about security relating to the embassy after what happened," said Walter Braunohler, a spokesman for the US embassy in Sudan.
John Granville, a 33-year-old officer with the US Agency for International Development, was shot and killed while being driven home from New Year's celebrations in Khartoum on January 1.
The US embassy in Khartoum has refused to comment on whether they suspect Granville was targeted by terrorists.
