This little yarn is about how the government of Sudan got a start when it read on a U.S. Congressional website that the U.S. government had conducted nuclear (or nook-eww-leer, in the pronunciation of some senior Bush Administration officials) tests there in the 1960s.

Oopsie, just a typo!

An excerpt from the BBC story:

The report should have said Sedan, a test site in the US state of Nevada.

"There is nothing that makes us so far doubt the explanations we have received from the US Administration," said Mr Ismail.

He said he was very relieved to find that it was a simple error.

"Our first concern of course was for the people of Sudan," he said.
