Sri Lanka Tamil Tiger woman leader hurt in ambush

COLOMBO, Feb. 28 (Xinhuanet) - A top Tamil Tiger woman leader and two other women rebels were seriously injured by gun fire in eastern Sri Lanka, police said Monday.



The police at Thirukkovil, 420 km east of Colombo, said two gunmen who arrived on a motor cycle had blocked the three wheeler taxi in which the women were traveling and fired at them.



Although no one had claimed responsibility for the attack, it is believed to have been mastermind by the renegade faction of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
