COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Battles, roadside bombings and artillery attacks across the front lines of Sri Lanka's civil war killed 35 ethnic Tamil rebels and two soldiers, the military said Wednesday.
The combatants were killed in at least 17 different confrontations Tuesday along the front lines of the civil war in this Indian Ocean island nation, the military said in a statement.
In the worst of the fighting, five rebel fighters were killed and 11 soldiers injured during a battle in the war-torn district of Mannar that began Monday night and lasted until Tuesday morning, the military said.
