Sri Lankan president's anger over airline cashew nuts

Sri Lanka's national airline has found itself in trouble with the country's president - over a few nuts. President Maithripala Sirisena has complained that, during a recent trip with Sri Lankan Airlines, he was treated to some cashews which were not fit for human consumption. In fact, the irate leader added, they were not even suitable for dogs. The airline, which has at least US$1b of debt, has yet to comment on Sirisena's outburst. The airline has been dogged by allegations of corruption in recent years, and is currently under investigation by a special presidential commission of inquiry. However, exactly what was so offensive about the nuts is unclear. "Who approved the cashew? Who is responsible for this?" the president reportedly asked. <br/>
