One Sudanese military officer said a deal was struck within the military leadership. Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan replaced Ibn Auf as head of the military council. Burhan was the third most senior general in the Sudanese military and is little known publicly. Other members of the 10-man military council include a NISS representative and the chief of police. The military council has said it will not extradite him, but may try him in Sudan.
