CHILDREN OF MOSLEM REFUGEES PRAY AT A MOSQUE IN SRILANKA'S NORTHWESTERN DISTRICTS.
FOR RELEASE WITH STORY BC-SRILANKA-MOSLEMS - Children of Moslem refugees, pused out of Sri Lanka's northern Jaffna peninsula by Tamil Tiger rebels 10 years ago, pray at a mosque in one of the refugee camps in the northwestern Puttalam districts. Thousands of Moslems in Jaffna, who left their homes after being given hours to vacate, face a dismal furure as there is little likelihood of them returning. Picture taken on May 19.
