Escort service

Guess who came home with the Tigers in Killinochi? The Sri Lankan security forces. The Sri Lankan forces personnel quickly pulled out of the Tiger area, without dinner, after having to provide security to the Tiger delegation returning from Oslo.

Time was when they dropped the men off at Omanthai, but this time the Tigers plaintively asked that they be escorted all the way home to Killi. Reason? They are not secure in areas under their own, urm, control....!

Despatched

A corporation boss who was up to no good, was given the boot by the current administration the Thursday before last.

The ex boss's reading of events was that a little corruption will be tolerated - it has been done before, right? Wrong, he was sent packing, and we can already feel the deterrent effect percolating.
