Suspected Tamil Rebels Shot Dead In Sri Lanka -- BBC
The army in Sri Lanka says it has shot dead three men who were trying to revive the Tamil Tigers (LTTE), the separatist rebel group crushed by the military in 2009.
It says they were taking instructions from two LTTE leaders based in Europe.
The reported incident, if true, is the first substantial military encounter since the end of the war.
But civil society campaigners have cast doubt on whether there is any such revival of the separatist rebels.
The authorities say they have arrested dozens of people in connection with the alleged bid to relaunch the Tigers.
The military says it believes the three who died were the same three that it described as wanted men in the past few weeks.
