Police guard aid group after threats from Buddist monks
Armed police guarded the office of Dutch aid group ZOA Refugee Care in the Sri Lankan capital today after angry Buddhist monks stormed into the building and accused the group of aiding Tamil Tiger rebels, officials said.
A roadside bomb, meanwhile, exploded in the government-held northern town of Vavuniya this morning, killing two policemen and wounding one, the area’s police chief said.
