At least three others were wounded and the area remained tense with dozens of protesters still at the location, the source said. In his resignation letter, a copy of which was seen by Reuters, the prime minister said he was quitting to help form an interim, unity government. “The president will meet with independent and opposition political parties and we expect a new government in the next few days.”

Some protesters hijacked a bus used to ferry pro-government supporters, according to a Reuters witness, one of several such incidents reported in Colombo. Hundreds of ruling party supporters had rallied outside the prime minister’s official residence before marching to an anti-government protest site outside the presidential office.
