Sri Lanka battles Tiger remnants
« Thread Started on May 18, 2009, 2:53am »

Sri Lanka's army has been releasing images of its troops on the coast in the north-eastern war zone
International concern is growing over the fate of civilians in northern Sri Lanka as fighting continues despite reports of a Tamil Tiger ceasefire.
Sri Lanka's government said troops were engaged in "final brushing up" hours after a website linked to the rebels said the Tigers were laying down arms.
EU ministers are expected to call on Monday for an independent inquiry into claims civilians have been targeted.

Both sides say the other has killed civilians in the closed off war zone.
The inquiry calls come as the final act appears to be being played out in a long and bitter 26-year civil war which has left some 70,000 people dead.

Sri Lanka's army says the last LTTE (Tamil Tiger) fighters have been penned in a 1.5 square kilometre patch of jungle.

On Sunday the Tigers chief of international relations, Selvarasa Pathmanathan, said in a statement on the Tamilnet website: "This battle has reached its bitter end."
A later statement appeared to modify the rebel position, saying the LTTE was "prepared to silence its guns if that is what needed by the international community to save the life and dignity of the Tamil people".

The country's President Mahinda Rajapaksa has already claimed victory, declaring on Saturday that Sri Lanka had been made free from "barbaric acts".
Europe 'appalled'
In Brussels the EU issued a draft statement ahead of a meeting of foreign ministers on Monday, expressing a sense of outrage at the reports of civilian casualties on both sides. cmc binding posts

Mr Chavez said he would halt the import of 10,000 cars from Colombia and ban a Colombian energy firm from developing Venezuela's oil-rich region.
Last week, Mr Chavez recalled his envoy from Bogota over accusations that Venezuela had sold arms to Farc rebels.
He is angry over Bogota's plans to boost US military presence in Colombia.
Colombian President Alvaro Uribe is currently visiting Chile and Argentina - on the latest stage of his regional tour to try to reassure South American leaders over the deployment of US troops.

A number of South American nations - including Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia - have expressed concerns over Bogota's plans.
Washington wants to increase its military capabilities in Colombia to counter drug traffickers and left-wing rebels, say analysts.
Speaking at a news conference in Caracas, Mr Chavez said the Venezuelan government would halt the import of 10,000 mainly industrial cars from the neighbouring Colombia. wbt binding posts

He also said Colombia's Ecopetrol company would be barred from taking part in an auction to develop the heavy crude in Venezuela's oil-rich Orinoco region.
Mr Chavez also said Venezuela would seek to buy "several battalions of Russian tanks" during his visit to Russia in September, reports AP news agency.
"These bases could be the start of a war in South America," the socialist leader told reporters. "We're talking about the Yankees, the most aggressive nation in human history."

Mr Chavez also rebuffed Bogota's accusations that Caracas had been selling weapons to the left-wing Farc rebel group.
