Jan. 16 - A roadside bomb has killed at least 25 people as a six-year ceasefire between the government and Tamil Tiger rebels in Sri Lanka expires.

The Ministry of Defence said a large number of schoolchildren on a bus were caught in the blast in the central district of Moneragala, around 240 km east of the capital Colombo.
