KHARTOUM, Sudan — Nine Chinese oil workers were kidnapped in an oil-rich region of southwestern Sudan in the latest attack on China’s interests in the African country, officials said Sunday.

Sudanese officials blamed a Darfur rebel group for the abduction. The attack took place outside the western Darfur region, and none of the Darfur rebel groups claimed responsibility. But the rebels have targeted Chinese interests outside Darfur in the past, saying the Asian power’s massive investments in Sudan’s oil sector help the government in its fight in Darfur.
