COLOMBO,7JANOO - A policeman escorts a detained Tamil girl in the capital Colombo on January 7 as part of a huge cordon-and-search operation to flush out Tamil Tiger rebel suicide bombers believed to have infiltrated the city to attack top politicians. Sri Lankan security forces sealed off the capital in a hunt for rebel suicide bombers on Friday after the government imposed a surprise curfew on the city. Security forces in Colombo detained hundreds of ethnic Tamils for questioning. The city, under a 14-hour curfew, was deserted.
