Eleven schoolchildren and two others were killed Monday when Sri Lanka's military activated a roadside bomb near a car traveling inside the Tamil Tiger rebel stronghold, the rebels said. Military spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara denied targeting the students.
The children were on their way to a cemetery to participate in the annual Hero's Day memorials for dead rebel fighters when they were hit by the blast about 15 miles west of the Tigers' de facto capital of Kilinochchi, rebel spokeswoman Selvy Navaruban said in a statement. The driver and an adult traveling with the students also were killed, the statement said. Set as favorite Bookmark Comments (5)
