Authorities in Sudan have detained two people over the killing of a US diplomat and his driver in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum last month.
Police arrested the suspects in a raid on a hideout in Omdurman, across the Nile from Khartoum, Sudan's official Suna news agency said.
Several people were wounded in a shoot-out during the raid.
John Granville and driver Abdel Rahman Abbas died after gunmen opened fire on their car early on New Year's Day.
Mr Granville, 33, was an employee of the US Agency for International Development.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) sent agents to help with a probe into the killing.
The US embassy in Khartoum had no immediate comment on the arrests.
No details were given on the identities of the suspects, one of whom was injured during the raid.
Their interrogation would start immediately, said General Abidin Taher, head of the police criminal investigation department.
Sudan has said that the killing was an isolated incident not linked to terrorism, despite a claim of responsibility posted on a militant website by a group calling itself Ansar al-Tawhid.
