U.S. Says Khartoum Bears Brunt of Blame for Border Fighting

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that fighting on Sudan's border with South Sudan was "deeply distressing" and that Khartoum bore the brunt of the blame for the violence.

"The weight of responsibility rests with Khartoum," Clinton told reporters, citing aerial bombing runs by the Sudanese government as "evidence of disproportionate force."
