Sri Lanka begins mammoth rebuilding after ethnic violence
Sri Lanka moves to rebuild after a week of clashes that left at least 240 dead. The government expelled a United Press International correspondent. The Supreme Court will review a constitutional amendment banning public support for northeastern Tamils secession, with penalties from civil rights deprivation to death. Parliament plans to debate the amendment in a closed session for security. Colombo, still volatile, enters a second calm day as a dusk-to-dawn curfew is reimposed with security forces authorized to shoot to kill.
