Tiger leader hints at renewed war
Tamil Tiger rebels attacked Sri Lankan troops with heavy artillery today, the military said, a day after the top Tamil Tiger leader declared a 2002 ceasefire “defunct,” suggesting the insurgents would renew their violent struggle for an independent Tamil homeland.
The government reacted sharply to the threat and spokesman, Keheliya Rambukwella said the government has asked peace broker Norway and European ceasefire monitors to find out if the rebels have officially withdrawn from the ceasefire.
