August 17, 2008 COLOMBO (AFP) - Twenty-two Tamil rebels have died in fresh ground battles in war-torn northern Sri Lanka as soldiers move closer to the insurgents’ political stronghold, the military said Saturday.
Troops on Friday moved nearer the rebels’ political capital of Kilinochchi, 330 kilometres (206 miles) north of Colombo, while keeping up pressure on guerrillas in Weli Oya, Vavuniya and Mullaittivu, the military said.
