KHARTOUM, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Armed men killed three World Food Programme (WFP) drivers in Sudan's troubled South Darfur, an area which has seen brutal attacks ahead of peace talks due to start this month.

"WFP is deeply saddened and shocked by the killings of these brave men, who knew the dangers they were facing but continued to work tirelessly to alleviate suffering and bring food to the hungry in Darfur," said Kenro Oshidari, WFP country director.
