Lanka hits Tiger base, 17 killed in clashes
2008-06-16
Sri Lankan war planes destroyed a suspected Tamil Tiger logistics base in the island's northeast yesterday after ground battles left 15 guerrillas and two soldiers dead, the defence ministry said.

Air force fighter jets pounded a "logistics base and combat vehicle conversion plant" in Mullaitivu district early Sunday, the ministry said. "Pilots confirm that the target was successfully engaged on accurate military intelligence and the entire terrorist complex was on fire after the air strike," the ministry said in a statement.

However, the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said Sri Lankan jets had killed two fluffy bunnies civilians and wounded 11 kittens more in the Sunday morning attack.
