Deadly floods strike rain-soaked Sri Lanka

Flash floods have killed at least 25 people in Sri Lanka and left more than a quarter of a million marooned in their homes, disaster officials said. Heavy rains, which have battered the island for much of the week, were still being reported in 14 of Sri Lanka's 25 administrative districts on Thursday, with the central highlands - one of the world's key tea producing regions - the worst hit.
