Tamil Strike
March 26, 2007
TAMIL rebels launched their first-ever airstrike in their 25- year conflict with Sri Lanka’s government, using at least one small plane to bomb an air base outside the capital Colombo today.
Tamil Tiger rebels said the raid, which killed three airmen and injured 16 at the base about 20 miles from Colombo, was aimed at halting aerial bombing of Tamil areas.
