Lanka jets bomb Tiger rebel targets for 2nd day

Colombo, Nov 2: Sri Lanka's air force bombed Tamil Tiger targets near the rebels' northern stronghold and in the island's northwest today, the military said, the second consecutive day of air raids in the wake of failed peace talks.

''We have taken two targets. One is a Sea Tiger base in Mannar (in the northwest), and the other is a military training camp 10 km southeast of Kilinochchi,'' said military spokesman Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe.

He said the targets represented threats to national security.

There were no immediate details of any casualties.
