Tamil protesters hold banners in central Brussels during a demonstration to protest against Sri Lanka's military offensives in territories held by Tamil Tigers, March 16, 2009. Nearly 2,000 people have fled Sri Lanka's shrinking war zone over the last two days as troops fight towards a final showdown with Tamil Tiger separatist rebels, the military said on Monday.
