Tsunami toll tops 175,000 amid terror threat fears

ASIA’S tsunami death toll soared past 175,000 yesterday as Sri Lanka confirmed thousands more dead, while fears re-emerged over the safety of aid workers in Indonesia’s Aceh province.

Denmark said it had information “imminent” terror attacks were planned against aid workers in Aceh, where US and other foreign troops have joined relief teams clearing rubble from the December 26 disaster.

“We have received information from sources abroad that somebody would be planning an attack today,” Danish Foreign Ministry official Niels Erik Andersen said.
