COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Suspected Tamil Tiger rebels killed a couple believed linked to a rival group Friday, hours after several people were wounded by a rebel attack on security forces at a tsunami survivors camp, officials said.
Gunmen believed to be rebels also shot to death a police sergeant and wounded a village guard in northeastern Sri Lanka, police said.
The violence came a day after Anton Balasingham, the London-based chief negotiator for the Tamil Tiger rebels, accused the government of paying and providing logistics support to paramilitary groups to "sustain a shadow war" against the rebels. He warned such a move, a violation of the 2002 cease-fire, could rekindle Sri Lanka's civil war.
