Sri Lankan truce 'under threat'




(BBC) Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels have warned that a truce with the government is under threat after the recent killing of one of its leaders.
E Kaushalyan was the most senior Tiger killed since the ceasefire began in February 2002.

Tuesday was the third anniversary of the truce and pressure is on both sides to observe restraint.

More than 60,000 people have died since the rebels began their fight for a homeland for minority Tamils.
