| A series of killings, abductions and robberies has spread fear in Jaffna |
Reports from the main city of northern Sri Lanka, Jaffna, say people there are living in fear because of a current series of killings, abductions and robberies.
Among those killed by unidentified assailants within the past three weeks were a Hindu priest and an education official.
The army, which has a heavy presence there, has expressed some concern while saying it is nothing really out of the ordinary.
The Sri Lankan government usually excludes foreign journalists from Jaffna.
Violent crime has been rising in and around the mainly Tamil city to such an extent that the municipal council issued a statement urging the government to stop it.
