KHARTOUM (Reuters) -A Sudanese demonstrator was killed on Wednesday, medics said, as protesters marched towards the capital's airport in the latest round of anti-military unrest that entered its tenth month.

The protester, whom the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors said died after being hit in the head with a tear gas canister and run over by a vehicle belonging to security forces, became the 117th person to be killed in the demonstrations which began after a military coup on Oct. 25 last year.
