Scars from the civil war in Northern Sri Lanka

Remains of a historic building destroyed by bombing during the civil war in Jaffna, Sri Lanka. This is just one of the many reminders of the deep scars caused during the 26-year long civil war between the Sri Lankan Army and the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). The United Nations estimates about 40,000 people were killed during the war. (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
