Footage released by Journalists for Democracy in Sri lanka

Comparisons are being made of this footage of killings of Tamil men by Sri lankan armed forces to killings of Muslim men in Srebenica by the Serbian forces and similar war crimes documented else where.

Sri Lanka has denied reports that a proposed loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is being delayed by the US, officials say.

American officials said the move was aimed at putting pressure on Colombo to do more to help civilians caught up in the fighting in the north.

But a senior Sri Lankan official says the talks are on schedule.

Sri Lanka has been holding talks with the IMF for a loan of nearly a $2bn to weather the global economic crisis.

International concern

Who says "South Asians" have nothing in common with each other? ;)
