 COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Buddhist monks demanded Sri Lanka's government scrap a cease-fire with Tamil rebels on Thursday, the fifth anniversary of its signing, as commandos patrolled the capital to thwart any potential attacks.
The Norwegian-brokered cease-fire exists only on paper as more than 3,200 people — guerrillas, soldiers, and civilians — have died in violence that flared in December 2005.
The Norwegian government said it has not given up hope for peace in Sri Lanka.
