KHARTOUM, April 28 (Reuters) – Three foreigners arrested by

Sudan’s army on Saturday had military backgrounds and were

helping the South Sudanese army, an army spokesman said.

Sudan said it arrested a Briton, a Norwegian and a South

African on Saturday for illegally entering the disputed Heglig

border area, the scene of recent fighting between Sudan and

South Sudan, with a soldier from South Sudan.

The three had been travelling in two cars that contained

military equipment, he said.
