[Sri Lanka's Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa
has resigned amid mass protests at the
government's handling of a deepening economic crisis.

The move came as the island was placed under
curfew after violent clashes between Rajapaksa
supporters and anti-government protesters in Colombo.]

[Three people were killed,
including a ruling party MP, and more than 150
injured in violence in the capital]
