Reporters on the ground in Aluthghama<\/span><\/a> told Colombo Telegraph a short while ago that fires are still raging in certain business establishments and homes, with evidence of heavy looting by mobs who torched the establishments throughout the night.<\/p>\n

Colombo Telegraph learns that Military reinforcements including personnel, trucks and riot fighting gear are currently being sent to Aluthgama.<\/p>\n

The looting and subsequent torching, and attacks last night occurred despite the curfew which was imposed at 6.45 PM.<\/p>\n

Reports said that attacks were carried till the wee hours of the morning.<\/p>\n

An uneasy calm prevails over Aluthgama and Beruwala with the curfew still being imposed.<\/p>\n

Unverified reports said that the death toll could increase<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many Muslims are currently being housed at mosques and Muslim organisations are currently calling for dry rations and medicine for the displaced and wounded.<\/p>\n
