KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan has reimposed an indefinite curfew on the western suburb of Omdurman two days after Darfur rebels attacked the capital, the Interior Ministry said on Monday.

"We have now reimposed the curfew in Omdurman -- it's not known until when," a ministry official told Reuters. He said security forces were still searching for rebels in the area.
