| Fierce fighting between government forces and Tamil Tiger rebels in northern Sri Lanka killed 25 rebels and four soldiers, the military said Wednesday. The worst of the fighting Tuesday erupted in the Kilinochchi and Mullaitivu districts, on the edge of the rebels' dwindling de facto state, where 15 rebels and three soldiers were killed in scattered battles, the military said. Fighting in the nearby Vavuniya and Welioya regions killed another nine rebels and one soldier, the military said. |
