Curfew in Sri Lanka city as religious tensions rise

Sri Lanka clamped curfews at a city outside the capital Sunday to contain religious tensions as the authorities prepared to reopen schools after Easter bombings that killed 257 people. A senior police officer said the night curfew was imposed to prevent an escalation of mob violence after attacks occurred in Negombo -- north of Colombo -- where over 100 Christians died in a church bombing two weeks ago. "At least two motorcycles and two three-wheel taxis have been damaged in the clashes," the police officer told AFP.
