Attack on Sudan's capital

In Sudan, a manhunt is under way to find the leader of the rebel group which attacked the capital on Saturday. Khalil Ibrahim now has a bounty of $250,000 on his head. Fighters from his Justice and Equality Movement, based in Darfur, thousands of kilometres to the west, were stopped by the army in Omdurman, a suburb of Khartoum.

The military says more than 200 people were killed.

Al Jazeera's Amr El Kahky has been given an exclusive look around the city after a curfew was lifted.

As he reports, many residents are still in shock from the fighting.
