REFILE WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Esala Ruwan Weerakoon, Sri Lanka's ambassador in Norway, looks at damage in the Sri Lankan embassy in Oslo April 12, 2009. Pro-Tamil Tiger demonstrators broke into the embassy during a protest in the Norwegian capital Oslo on Sunday, smashing windows and furniture, said police, but no one was hurt. The protest, the first of several by Tamil Tiger supporters around the world in recent weeks to turn violent, followed a march by around 100,000 people in London on Saturday to demand a ceasefire between Sri Lankan forces and the rebels.
