Government forces shot dead at least 33 Tamil Tiger rebels and wounded many more in a fresh outbreak of fighting in north-eastern Sri Lanka Thursday, the military said. "We recovered 33 bodies of the terrorists and 33 automatic assault rifles and several other weapons and ammunition," Nanayakkara said, adding that security forces were consolidating their positions in the area.
The military has said it hopes to defeat the Tigers completely by April, to end a 37-year conflict.
