This is the correct news - Tamil Tiger rebels on Thursday attacked a strategic naval base in northern Sri Lanka, killing at least 35 sailors, a rebel spokesman claimed The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) staged a pre-dawn raid on the naval base at Delft, an islet off the northern Jaffna peninsula.
"During a search operation, we found 35 bodies of Sri Lankan sailors and weapons. We lost only four of our cadres," Tiger spokesman Rasiah Ilanthiriyan said from the rebel-held Wanni region.
The Sri Lankan military confirmed the rebel attack, saying the Tigers had used about 15 boats, including three so-called "suicide boats", but the army provided no details about casualties.
Military sources said they had information about eight or 10 sailors getting killed in the attack and rejected the Tiger claim of 35.
The latest violence came after the International Red Cross said yesterday it had pulled its staff away from frontlines dividing government and rebel forces amid an escalation in the fighting across the island nation.
