COLOMBO, Sunday (AFP) Factional violence among LTTE rebels left six dead at the weekend, marking a new spurt in violence, local residents and military officials here said. The bloodshed has caused concern among diplomats and the government who say efforts to restart talks to end three decades of ethnic bloodshed have been set back by factional fighting among the rebels. In the latest killings, six men from the main Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) were gunned down in two clashes with renegade rebels in eastern Batticaloa district, the sources said. "Local residents say six people were killed in two separate incidents over the weekend in an area controlled by the Tigers," a local military official in Batticaloa, 303 kilometers (180 miles) east of Colombo, said by telephone. |
