INCREASING VIOLENCE IN SRI LANKA
U.S. Embassy Colombo released the following Warden Message on October 28:
On October 28, 2008, from approximately 10:30 PM until 11:30 PM, the LTTE conducted air raids on the Sri Lanka Army base at Tallady in Mannar and on the Kelanitissa Power Plant just north of Colombo. The raids caused damage to property and one known death at the Kelanitissa Power Plant; two injuries have been reported from the raids.
During last night’s incidents in Colombo and Mannar, the Sri Lanka government cut power to Colombo as a precautionary measure and used anti-aircraft fire against the LTTE aircraft. The US Embassy advises citizens to remain indoors when anti-aircraft weapons are in use due to the risk of injury from falling shrapnel or bullets.
As always, the Embassy reminds American citizens to continue to be aware of their surroundings and vigilant about their personal security. Americans are advised to be on alert if visiting government facilities and public venues. Americans should also continue to avoid military installations, government and military convoys traveling on the roads and, where possible, government buildings, as they have in the past been targets for LTTE violence. There are likely to be traffic disruptions as Sri Lankan security forces increase their security checks. Americans are again reminded to cooperate fully with Sri Lankan security forces as they implement increased security measures.
U.S. citizens should also consult the Department of State’s latest Country Specific Information and Travel Warning for Sri Lanka, and the Worldwide Caution, available at http://travel.state.gov . Americans living or traveling in Sri Lanka are encouraged to register with the U.S. Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website. The Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy in Colombo is located at 210 Galle Road. The telephone number is +94 11 249-8500. The number for after-hours emergencies is +94 11 249-8888. The fax number is +94 11 249-8501. The Consulate’s e-mail address is consularcolombo@state.gov and its Internet web page is http://srilanka.usembassy.gov.

“Ex-CIA Expert: Obama Took Millions in Illegal Foreign Donations”
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 9:27 PM
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman
ARTICLE SNIPPET: “A Newsmax investigation of Obama/Biden campaign contributors, undertaken in conjunction with a private investigative firm headed by a former CIA operations officer, has identified 118 donors who appear to lack U.S. citizenship.
Some of these “red flag” donors work for foreign governments; others have made public statements declaring that they are citizens of Cameroun, Nigeria, Pakistan, Canada, and other countries.
A Newsmax sampling of about 3,400 donors also found hundreds more who showed “yellow flags” such as not having used a Social Security number or a known U.S. address. Most U.S.-born citizens are issued Social Security numbers at birth or by the time they enter kindergarten.
Under federal law, only U.S. citizens or permanent residents may donate to federal political campaigns. It is illegal for the campaigns to accept money knowingly from foreign donors.”
