KHARTOUM, March 13 (Reuters) - The Sudanese government has located three international aid workers from the medical charity Medicins Sans Frontieres taken in Darfur and is in contact with the kidnappers, a foreign ministry official said on Friday.

"We know where they are ... We have established a link with them and we are discussing their terms," Mutrif Siddig, undersecretary at the foreign ministry, told Reuters. (Reporting by Andrew Heavens, writing by Will Rasmussen)
