Lankan president may head to Caribbean
COLOMBO, April 22: Sri Lanka's President Mahinda Rajapakse will head to the West Indies if the country makes it to the cricket World Cup final this week, his aides said on Sunday.
Rajapakse, who returned to the island early Sunday after a four-day visit to Italy and the Vatican, plans to travel to the Caribbean if Sri Lanka beat New Zealand in their semi-final on Tuesday, an aide said.
