12 Tamil Tiger Rebels Killed in Fighting in Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan government forces killed at least 12 separatist Tamil Tiger rebels in fresh fighting in the north of the country, the Defense Ministry said Tuesday.

Government forces killed 10 rebels of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) at Muhamalai in the Jaffna peninsula on Monday during a raid on four rebel bunkers, the ministry said.

Four government soldiers were wounded in the fighting and another two Tiger rebels were killed at Weli Oya.

The latest fighting came amid moves by Norway to broker peace between the government and the Tamil Tiger rebels who have been fighting since 1983 for an independent homeland in the north and east of the country. The bloody war have killed more than 60,000 people.
