THREE SRI LANKAN PEACE KEEPERS SHOT IN HAITI

THREE Sri Lankan soldiers from the UN peace keeping contingent recieved non-life threatening injuries when fired upon by an unknown gunman in a slum area of Haiti.

Sri Lanka currently maintains a contingent of approx 900 soldiers in Haiti under a UN peace keeping mandate. Our soldiers proved their mettle by disarming most of the bandit and armed groups in the area under their control within a short time of their deployment.
