ICRC worker killed in N Sri Lanka

Source: BBC

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) says that one of its employees has been killed in a shell attack in Sri Lanka's war zone.

The victim - a Sri Lankan working as a water technician - was killed along with his mother.

He was working in the small pocket of territory still controlled by Tamil rebels where fighting is taking place.

The dead man - who was married with a child - is the third ICRC employee to be killed in the zone in recent weeks.
