![]() “Some of the people are making their way down the coast, others are coming through jungle in vehicles,” Selvaraj Jeyaraj, project coordinator for the Italian Red Cross, told Reuters by telephone from Batticaloa. Sri Lanka’s military said earlier that government forces killed nine Tamil separatists in the latest clash on Friday between the two sides. Deputy Military spokesman Maj Upali Rajapakse said the pre-emptive strike against the Tamils was conducted as they were preparing to attack army troops in Batticaloa. |
