Guest guest Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Monday, 7 August 2006, 00:21 GMT 01:21 UK Sri Lanka aid workers 'shot dead' Aid is brought to families in the violence-torn town of Muttur Fifteen local employees of a French charity have been found shot dead in the strife-torn town of Muttur in northern Sri Lanka, aid workers say. An official from the group, Action Against Hunger, said the bodies had been found in the agency's office. Fighting between the army and Tamil Tigers erupted in the Muttur area after the rebels cut the water supply to villages more than two weeks ago. The army on Sunday launched fresh shelling of rebel positions. The attacks came despite a Tamil Tiger agreement to allow the reservoir to be reopened and a threat that renewed shelling would be seen by the rebels as a declaration of war. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/5251282.stm Dasha: Mo/Mo/Me/Me/Ra   satva Jorge Angelino Rua da Sociedade Filarmónica Perpétua Azeitonense, 29 2925-598 Azeitão Portugal jorge.angelino tel: mobile: 210813674 963916784 Add me to your address book...
