Sri Lanka to hold victory march
Sri Lanka would hold a national victory parade Wednesday to mark the crushing of the rebels of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), officials said.
A military parade will be held in a ceremony attended by President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the Galle Face Green, a sea front ground in Colombo, Wednesday morning.
The military will display some of the equipment captured from the rebels as well as the tanks, multi barrel guns and rocket launchers used against the rebels in the fight which lasted nearly three years before the rebel leadership was killed on May 18.
