Sri Lankan Government attacks Red Cross
The Red Cross said its office in Colombo had been physically attacked by protesters, apparently spurred on by the Government.
ICRC says that hundreds of civilians have been killed by the (national) fighting and about 250,000 people are trapped. Sri Lankan government has accused the Red Cross of inciting panic over the military operation against Tamil Tiger rebels in the north. A spokesman said the ICRC had ordered 35,000 body bags for the battle zone to create what he called a fear psychosis among the international community, but the International Committee of the Red Cross confirmed a routine order of body bags but nowhere near that number.
IMO: The Sri Lankan Government seem to have replaced fact by incompetent lies throughout this matter. Congress have another Tamil Nadu situation on their hands.Tamil Nadu situations they seem to handle rather like the Catholic Church dealt with Hitler during the holocaust - badly and wrongly. Does TMC, for example, really want to deal with such a party as Congress?
