JVP demand expulsion of World Bank official

Mar 9 (AFP) JVP has demanded the expulsion of the World Bank's country director after accusing him of giving official recognition to Tamil Tiger guerrillas. The People's Liberation Front, or the JVP, said the official, Peter Harrold, had extended de facto recognition to the LTTE when he said in an interview the World Bank recognised that the guerrillas were in control of parts of the country.
