yet more contflict between sri lankan armed forces and the Tamil Tigers. each side is blaming the other for over 300 dead civilians (106 were children). this is the official number of dead but the website run by the tamil tigers says its closer to 2000 dead. the sri lankan government is claiming that the tamil tigers shelled towns and are holding hostages for ransom

this conflict seems huge for such a tiny island, with over 70,000 people killed since the tamil tigers started their campaign in 1983. they are fighting for independance of the northern part of the island.
