S Lanka army accused of killings
Tamil Tiger rebels in Sri Lanka have accused the army of killing five civilians, including two children, in the rebel-controlled north. The rebels said artillery shells fired by the military fell inside a camp for internally displaced people near the northern town of Kilinochchi. But a Sri Lankan military spokesman later denied the rebels' accusation. On Saturday, the government accused the Tigers of planting a bomb in Colombo which wounded at least 43 people. The blast comes as the government is undertaking a large offensive against the rebels in northern areas of the island. Posted by: Fred 2008-09-01 |
