Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tiger guerrillas on Tuesday said three of their men were killed and five wounded when government troops launched an attack on a rebel sentry point in the island’s restive east. The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said heavily armed troops attacked their Kattumurivu sentry point in the district of Batticaloa on Tuesday morning.
