Russian Foreign Ministry recommends Russians to cancel trips to Sri Lanka

Russia's Foreign Ministry has issued a recommendation to Russian citizens to refrain from trips to Sri Lanka in the wake of growing terrorist activity on the part of Tamil Eelam Liberation Tigers.

"This organization has noticeably stepped up its terrorist activity of late," a source at the Foreign Ministry said Friday. "There've been four terrorist acts in succession and they carried away many human lives."

"In the light of it, the Foreign Ministry recommends Russian citizens to refrain from trips to Sri Lanka until the situation in that country returns to normal," the source said.
