<b>US marines end Sri Lanka tsunami mission, foreign troops set to leave</b>
27 minutes ago South Asia - AFP
COLOMBO (AFP) - US marines have completed their tsunami relief operations in Sri Lanka while troops from seven other nations were also scaling down their work and preparing to withdraw from the island, a defence official said.
Only a handful of US marines remained on the island after the 1,600-strong force began withdrawing in the past two weeks, the official said, adding that they too would be leaving shortly.
Troops from Austria, Belgium, Canada, Greece, India, Italy and Pakistan had also drastically reduced their strength in the last few days and were on the verge of completing a withdrawal, the official added.
More than a dozen countries rushed troops to help with the immediate relief operations after the December 26 tsunamis killed nearly 31,000 people and left a million homeless in Sri Lanka.
