So far over 45,000 people fled Sri Lanka's shrinking war zone
Sri Lanka Army has encircled the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in a mere 28km² on the island nation's north eastern coast and is fighting to finish a separatist war that has raged off and on since 1983.
Troops killed 16 LTTE fighters in battles on Tuesday and Wednesday, military spokesperson Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said.
Soldiers received 378 fleeing Tamil civilians on Tuesday, bringing the total to 1 054 since Friday, he said. Nearly all of the 45 000 who fled this year came out in a single spurt in early February when troops reached an older no-fire zone.
LTTE keeping innocents civilliens for human sheilds,its very shame for all of humanity.Hope soon end this LTTE games.
