Lighting strike claims four lives
AT least four men were killed and another 56 injured when lightning struck a military training facility in eastern Sri Lanka on Tuesday, police said.
The victims were on a training exercise when they were struck in the district of Polonnaruwa.
Sri Lankan troops are locked in combat with Tamil separatists in the island's embattled northeast.
Thousands in total are said to have been killed in fighting this year as the government pulled out of a Norwegian-arrange truce between the two sides.
