Tamil Tiger rebels detonated land mines around a crowded bus June 15 killing 64 civilians in what represents their worst attack in years. What appeared to be reprisal killings of Tamil civilians followed, apparently at the hands of the Sri Lankan armed forces. Peace talks have collapsed and distrust is mounting. Travel to the north and northeast should be avoided.
