Sri Lanka Civil War Continuing

Sri Lanka: Clashes kill 36 Tamil Tiger rebels -- Jerusalem Post

Sri Lanka says kills Tiger intelligence head -- Yahoo News

Sri Lankan Army Advances in Jaffna After Rebel Commander Killed -- Bloomberg

My Comment: Another round of military strikes and killings. Will this force the Tigers back to the negotiation table....probably not. But what is surprising is that since the end of the ceasefire between both parties, the Sri Lankan military has been successful in killing the top command for the Tigers. This deliberate targeting of the Tiger's leadership council is a major escalation in this conflict.
