Sri Lanka takes more time to study war crimes charges COLOMBO -- Sri Lanka's president has given legal experts four more months to study a U.S. State Department report cataloging alleged war crimes on the island, the presidency said in a statement Monday. President Mahinda Rajapakse extended the December 31 deadline of the panel he appointed in November to formulate a response to the U.S. report, which accused Sri Lankan forces of war crimes while battling Tamil separatists. “The president has... extended by four months the period given to the committee to study and report on the U.S. State Department Report,” the president's office said in a statement.
