KHARTOUM, Oct 9 (Reuters) - A Sudanese army raid killed at least 40 people in the Darfur town of Muhajiriya and bodies were still lying in the streets, the rebel faction which controls the area said on Tuesday.

"Until now the number of dead civilians are at least 40, with 80 missing and a large number of injured," the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) said in a statement sent to Reuters.

The SLA faction led by Minni Arcua Minnawi was the only one of three rebel negotiating groups to sign a May 2006 peace deal with Khartoum and became part of the government.
