Sri Lanka: 15 Tiger rebels killed as gov't troops capture small northern town Fri. May 09, 2008 07:02 am.- By Bonny Apunyu. - (SomaliNet) After fighting on Friday that killed 15 Tamil Tiger rebels and two soldiers, Sri Lanka's military announced the capture of a small town in the north, calling it an important step in dismantling guerrilla strongholds in the area. Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara, military spokesman said the soldiers took control of Adampan town in northern Mannar district, which could restrict guerrilla movement and transportation of arms. However, rebel spokesman Rasiah Ilanthirayan could not be reached immediately for comment. It was not possible to obtain independent confirmation of the military's claims because reporters are not allowed in the war zone. Both sides are known to exaggerate death tolls and damage inflicted upon each other while underreporting their own losses. -AP News Category: World Latest Headlines Latest News Sudan cuts ties with Chad accusing Chad of back...
