Pvt Lankan broadcaster attacked
COLOMBO: An employee says an unidentified gang has attacked the head
office of a private broadcasting company in
Sri Lanka. Three employees were injured
in the second attack
on the broadcaster in just over a year.
Shevan Daniel, an employee of Maharaja Organisation, says about 200 people suddenly gathered today outside the office in Colombo and threw stones at the building.
Daniel said he did not know who the attackers were or what their motive may have been.
Maharaja Organisation has three televisi-on and four radio
channels.
Last year, a group of armed men attacked
its studio and transmission compound, tossing
and grenades, spraying the building with
gunfire.
