Adam Khater, who worked for the Fellowship for African Relief, was shot to death at his home Monday night in the town of Kongo Haraza, near Sudan's border with Chad, said Mark Simmons, country director for the Ontario-based organization.
“He was shot by armed bandits at his home in front of his family last night because he could not provide them the satellite phone they were looking for,” Mr. Simmons told The Canadian Press by telephone from Khartoum on Monday.
The joint United Nations-African Union mission in Darfur confirmed the killing and said it was under investigation. It had no further details.

Canadian Aid Worker Freed

A Canadian nurse is among four Doctors Without Borders workers freed by kidnappers in Darfur, the agency said Friday.

The agency, known in French as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), issued a statement about their release after receiving confirmation from the abductors and Sudanese authorities.

However, the agency has yet to make direct contact with the workers, including Laura Archer from Montreal, said spokeswoman Naomi Sutorius-Lavoie.

"We have not yet seen our colleagues, nor have we had the chance to speak with them since we heard that they were being released."
