| #4 Sri Lanka's military began the New Year with a vow to crush the Tigers by June. They set a target to kill 3,000 guerrillas in the first six months and dismantle the rebels' mini-state in the north of the island. President Mahinda Rajapakse also ruled out any negotiations with the Tigers before crushing them militarily. The authorities are confident that they enjoy the upper hand on the battlefield. |
