COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels on Saturday denied involvement in the assassination of Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar, the rebels' political chief said.
Rebel chief S.P. Tamilchelvan condemned Sri Lanka's government for "hastily blaming the Liberation Tigers" for Friday's killing.
"We also know that there are sections within the Sri Lankan Armed forces operating with a hidden agenda to sabotage the cease-fire agreement," he said and urged Colombo to conduct a thorough investigation to identify the assassins.
