Tamil judge escapes assassination attempt in Sri Lanka

Justice Manickavasagar Illancheliyan, a prominent Sri Lankan Tamil high court judge, on Saturday reportedly escaped an assassination bid in Jaffna. Police reportedly said an unidentified man snatched the revolver of his personal protection officer and opened fire when the judge’s car was caught in a traffic block in Jaffna’s Nallur junction. He was unhurt while the policeman suffered injuries. A police DIG was arrested and remanded last week by the judge.
