JUBA (Reuters) - South Sudan's army said that three foreigners arrested by Sudan near a disputed border area were not helping its forces, contrary to accusations by Khartoum.
"That is rubbish and just a lie," the spokesman for South Sudan's army (SPLA), Philip Aguer, said.
Aguer said SPLA sources in Bentiu, the capital of South Sudan's Unity State, told him that a U.N. truck had got lost in the disputed border area and were "caught by the Sudanese Armed Forces".
"The humanitarian truck ... should have been allowed free passage," Aguer said.
