| 22 killed in latest Sri Lanka clashes |
| 2008-08-04 |
| At least 21 Tamil Tiger rebels and a Sri Lankan government soldier have been killed in the latest clashes in the island's north, the defence ministry said yesterday. The fighting occurred Saturday. The figures raise to 5,496 the number of rebels killed by troops since January, while 496 soldiers have died in action over the same period, according to a tally of the defence ministry's daily claims. There was no comment from the rebels. Casualty claims from either side cannot be verified since the ministry blocks journalists from visiting the front lines. |
