A political expert says Khartoum made the right decision by calling for the condemnation Israel at the UN Security Council over the attack on a Sudanese military factory, Press TV reports.

“I think it is significant that Khartoum has taken the case to the UN Security Council, which is their right and which I think is the right thing,” Nii Akuetteh, a Washington-based African policy analyst, told Press TV.

Hundreds of Sudanese staged a demonstration in Khartoum on Wednesday to protest against an airstrike carried out by the Israeli regime on a weapons factory in the capital.

The demonstration came after Sudanese Culture and Information Minister Ahmed Bilal Osman said that four Israeli warplanes had targeted the factory, killing at least two people.

Israeli Minister for Military Affairs Ehud Barak responded to a question about the attack by saying, "There is nothing I can say about this subject."

Sudan also called on the United Nations Security Council to condemn Israel for violating the country’s sovereignty.

Akuetteh pointed to the recurrence of suspected Israeli attacks in the Sudanese territory and highlighted Tel Aviv’s persistent refusal to comment on the attacks.

“It is the fourth such incident in a row, it happened in 2009, 2011, and this year. Actually, in 2011 there were two of them. So this is the fourth time it has happened and… there is circumstantial evidence that it may have been Israeli planes,” he said.

In April 2011, Sudan said it had irrefutable evidence that Israeli helicopters targeted a car driving along its Red Sea coast, which left two people dead.

In January 2009, suspected Israeli aircraft bombed a convoy of trucks in eastern Sudan.

American and Israeli media outlets claimed the vehicles were carrying weapons for Palestinian resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip, during Israel's devastating 22-day onslaught against the blockaded territory.
