KHARTOUM, April 28 (Reuters) - Three foreigners arrested by Sudan's army on Saturday had military backgrounds and were helping the South Sudanese army, an army spokesman said.
Sudan said it arrested a Briton, a Norwegian and a South African on Saturday for illegally entering the disputed Heglig border area, the scene of recent fighting between Sudan and South Sudan, with a soldier from South Sudan.
The three had been travelling in two cars that contained military equipment, he said. (Reporting by Ulf Laessing; Editing by Louise Ireland)
