Sri Lanka : Tamil Tigers attacked three army camps and pushed into government territory while the military said dozens of rebels were killed
Media Release
Aug. 2, 2006

Sri Lanka's civil war appeared to have resumed in all but name on Wednesday as Tamil Tigers attacked three army camps and pushed into government territory while the military said dozens of rebels were killed.

A 2002 ceasefire between the two sides still holds on paper, but a battle last week over a rebel-held water supply has spread to nearby areas in the northeastern Trincomalee district, with both sides exchanging artillery fire and fighting on the ground. "This is a war," said a policeman at a heavily-defended government roadblock just west of the conflict area. "They are attacking our soldiers and people and we are attacking them." Multi-barrelled government rocket fire lit up the night sky while jets resumed bombing raids on Tiger positions for an eighth day. Reuters reporters saw trucks transporting two Russian-made T-52 battle tanks and tonnes of supplies to the area.
