Tamils return to work
Minority Tamils said they hope to go back to work yesterday after being forced to seek refuge in Hindu temples during two days of looting following a Tamil Tiger attack on Sri Lanka's port city of Galle.
"The trouble is over now -- back to normal," said one of the men who remained in Galle's largest Hindu temple.
He added that Tamil-owned businesses would open later in the day.
