SL crisis deepens, no-confidence motion passed against Rajapaksa

Sri Lanka's parliament passed a motion of no-confidence in the controversially-appointed government of Mahinda Rajapaksa Wednesday. The result does not automatically mean that Wickremesinghe, whose party is the biggest in parliament, has won the constitutional showdown. President Maithripala Sirisena retains the power to choose the next prime minister.
