COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, Aug. 30 — In a searing indictment of the Sri Lankan government, Swedish-led cease-fire monitors on Wednesday accused government security forces of killing 17 aid workers early this month in Mutur in one of the worst attacks against humanitarian workers worldwide in recent years.

INTERVIEW-Sri Lanka must guarantee aid worker safety-UN envoy

COLOMBO, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka must guarantee the safety of hundreds of humanitarian staff involved in tsunami relief and conflict projects, a United Nations envoy said, after truce monitors accused the military of killing 17 aid workers. The execution-style murders of local staff of aid agency Action Contre La Faim this month as a new bout of civil war flared in northeast Sri Lanka have triggered international outcry. Nordic truce monitors formally blamed the security forces on Wednesday. "The assassination of tsunami aid workers is a shocking and gross violation of international human rights and humanitarian principles," Eric Schwartz, former U.S. President Bill Clinton's deputy United Nations special envoy for tsunami recovery, told Reuters in an interview in Colombo late on Wednesday.
