Villagers scramble across the broken bridge in Komari.
Villagers with the aid of telegraph cable scramble across a bridge that was destroyed in last weekend's tsunami in Komari on Sri Lanka's east coast January 3, 2005. Sri Lanka's tsunami devastation has drawn a huge international aid response, but a geopolitical game of influence between India and the United States is playing not too subtly in the background, analysts said on Monday.
