Tamil rebels stormed a village in eastern Sri Lanka on Saturday, killing at least two civilians and injuring 13 others, according to dpa. The incident came a day after rebels attempted an aerial suicide mission on the capital, Colombo. Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said that the rebels had attacked the remote village of Inginiyagala, 280 kilometres east of the capital, on Saturday evening. Early reports from the area suggested the final death toll could be higher than two. The incident came as government investigators salvaged parts of two light aircraft commandeered by Tamil rebels and shot down by the Sri Lankan Air Force on Friday. Initial examinations revealed that both aircraft were packed with more than 200 kilograms of explosives each and were on an apparent suicide mission. Nanayakkara said the attacks were a contrast to previous incidents where the rebels had used light aircraft to drop bombs on the capital. Initial reports of the incident on late Friday had suggested that the rebels had used the planes to drop bombs close to the air force headquarters in the capital. But the investigation has revealed that one of the aircraft crashed into a government building close to the air force headquarters, and the second one was shot down around 30 kilometres north of the capital. Two people died and at least 53 were wounded in the air attacks.
