KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Darfur rebel leader Khalil Ibrahim said on Monday he would launch more attacks on Sudan's capital Khartoum until the government fell.

"This is just the start of a process and the end is the termination of this regime," Ibrahim, whose Justice and Equality Movement attacked Khartoum at the weekend, told Reuters. "Don't expect just one more attack -- this is just the beginning."
