Sudan ? Senior leaders of Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah offered international support Friday to Sudan’s president after he was charged with war crimes in Darfur, a sign that the bid to prosecute him could sharply radicalize his regime.

For a third straight day, President Omar al-Bashir’s supporters marched and vowed to defend him against what his government called a “colonial” conspiracy to overthrow him. Hundreds emerged from mosques after Friday prayers, chanting “jihad,” or holy war, and shouting, “With our souls and blood, we will sacrifice ourselves for you, al-Bashir.”
