COLOMBO: N.K. Masliya says she has been visiting a neighborhood clinic in the northwestern Sri Lankan village of Rathmalyaya for over five years, always dressed in a black abaya — a cloak-like over-garment worn by some Muslim women.

But when Masliya went to the clinic nearly three weeks after terrorists killed over 250 people in churches and hotels across the country, she said things had changed.
