The beheaded body of a Sudanese newspaper editor has been found on the outskirts of the capital, Khartoum. Mohammed Taha ran the al-Wifaq paper and was taken from his home on Tuesday night by an unknown group of armed men.

Last year, he was put on trial for blasphemy after his pro-government paper reprinted an article questioning the parentage of the prophet Muhammad.

The charges were later dropped ...

Apparently they weren't.
