 Suspected Tamil Tiger rebels shot dead a policeman and a soldier in fresh violence in Sri Lanka amid renewed attempts by Norway to revive peace talks, officials and the defence ministry said today. Gunmen opened fire on two constables in the northern peninsula of Jaffna last night and one of them succumbed to his injuries, a government military official in Jaffna said. In another incident, Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels lobbed a grenade and opened fire at a boat-landing point in the east of the island late Thursday killing a soldier, the defence ministry said in a statement. There was no immediate word from the Tigers about the military allegations. |
