New Death Cult Threats Against Aid Workers
Tsunami Toll Tops 175,000, New Threat Warning.
GALLE, Sri Lanka (Reuters) - Asia’s tsunami death toll soared past 175,000 Monday as Sri Lanka confirmed thousands more dead, while fears re-emerged over the safety of aid workers in Indonesia’s shattered Aceh province.
Denmark said it had information “imminent” terror attacks were planned against aid workers in Aceh, where U.S. and other foreign troops have joined relief teams clearing rubble from the Dec. 26 disaster which killed 115,000 in that province alone.
“We have received information from sources abroad that somebody would be planning an attack today,” Danish Foreign Ministry official Niels Erik Andersen told Danish radio.
