By Tom Parker in Hambantota, Sri Lanka

The town is meant to offer a blueprint for the new Sri Lanka; a shining
example of how the one million people left homeless by the tsunami will
live out the rest of their days. But the beleaguered Muslims of the
southern coastal town of Hambantota are furious at what their
government has in store for them.
The first brick of what will be known as Siribopura was laid last week
by the Sri Lankan President, Chandrika Bandaranaike, in virgin jungle
territory two miles inland. The new town will house 6,000 families from
Hambantota, whose homes were destroyed on 26 December.
