 COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Anti-insurgency commandos overran a rebel base in eastern Sri Lanka on Friday, killing at least 20 guerrillas, the military said.
The Tamil Tiger base 130 miles east of the capital, Colombo, was thought to be a "threat to the main road" where suspected rebels often activate roadside bombs targeting the military, Brig. Prasad Samarasinghe said.
He said three commandos died in the fighting, and 12 were wounded. Rebel officials were not available to comment on the clash.
