Eritrea has rejected reports that it was behind a foiled plot to attack Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam project (seeearlier post ), Bloomberg news reports .
The Ethiopian government has said it killed 13 members of a rebel group sponsored by Eritrea who were planning to attack the vast infrastructure project.
"This whole accusation is preposterous and peddled for some sinister reason," Eritrean Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel said in a message sent via Twitter, Bloomberg reports.
The minister added that he had never heard of the rebel group accused of planning the attack.
The site of the multi-billion dollar dam is located in the Benishangul region, a vast, arid land on the border with Sudan, some 900km north-west of the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
