Pope begins Asian tour in Sri Lanka

Pope Francis arrived in Sri Lanka at the start of a weeklong Asian tour saying the island nation can't fully heal from a quarter-century of ethnic civil war without pursuing truth for the injustices committed. Francis was seeking to bring a message of reconciliation to Sri Lanka during the first trip by a pope to nation since the end the conflict in 2009.
