"Police killed in Sri Lanka blast"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "At least six policemen and a civilian have been killed by a roadside bomb in eastern Sri Lanka, the authorities say.
Another 12 officers who were on the bus taking them on leave were hurt in the explosion, which happened close to a university in Batticaloa district.

The Defence Ministry blamed Tamil Tiger rebels for the blast. Violence has risen in Sri Lanka in recent months as the country has slid back towards war, despite a 2002 ceasefire still in place."

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Gloucestershire estate where Prince Charles and his wife Camilla spend much of their time has been broken into, it has emerged.

An intruder broke into the Highgrove estate last night and was arrested in the gardens area on suspicion of trespass.

The 55-year-old was later released on bail, a Gloucestershire police spokeswoman confirmed.

"He was detained within the grounds and did not gain access to any buildings," the spokeswoman added.

"The 55-year-old man, who is from Bristol, was questioned at Stroud police station and has now been released on police bail pending further enquiries until March 26th."

Media reports suggest that the intruder was armed with a pitchfork when he was arrested."
