At least 38 people were killed after a gold mine collapsed in Sudan’s West Kordofan province on Tuesday.
Sudanese authorities said at least 38 people were killed Tuesday when a gold mine collapsed in West Kordofan province.
The country's state-run mining company said in a statement the collapse of the closed, non-functioning mine took place in the village of Fuja 700 kilometers (435 miles) south of the capital of Khartoum. It said there were also injuries without giving a specific tally.

Leon Panetta said Iran war was not an unexpected risk. He pointed out that for years, US security officials have known Iran could disrupt global oil supplies by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, this was a well-known danger, but one that appears to have been overlooked in the current conflict.
