A damaged television is seen in a MTV/MBC transmission station after it was attacked by an unidentified armed gang at Pannipitiya, a suburb in Colombo, January 6, 2009. Masked gunmen with grenades destroyed the main studio of Sri Lanka's largest private broadcaster on Tuesday, after state media criticised it for coverage of a Tamil Tiger suicide blast last week.
