Europe mourns tsunami victims


AMSTERDAM, Jan 5: Europeans observed three minutes silence on Wednesday with mass tributes at airports, railway stations, supermarkets, factories and offices in memory of the tens of thousands who died in Asia's tsunami disaster.

Ten days after a massive earthquake off Sumatra sent giant waves crashing into coastlines round the Indian Ocean, citizens from Rotterdam to Rome fell silent at noon (1100 GMT) to mourn the more than 145,000 people known to have been killed.

In parts of Europe trains, buses and trams ground to a halt, cash tills in shops fell silent. -Reuters
