Ten Lankans vanish from Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM: Ten members of crisis-hit Sri Lanka’s Commonwealth Games contingent in Birmingham have disappeared in a suspected attempt to remain in Britain, a top sports official from the island nation told media on Sunday.
The nine athletes and a manager vanished after completing their events, the official said, requesting anonymity. Three of them — judoka Chamila Dilani, her manager Asela de Silva, and wrestler Shanith Chathuranga — had disappeared last week. –Agencies
