# The United Arab Emirates says it had foiled a weapons shipment intended for the Sudanese army, which has accused the Gulf state of backing rival paramilitaries in the country’s two-year war. The statement did not list the suspects arrested, but said members of the cell included former Sudanese intelligence chief, Salah Gosh, as well as several Sudanese businessmen. It said the arrests were made “during an inspection of ammunition in a private aircraft” loaded with around five-million machine gun rounds.
