"Sixteen valiant LTTE soldiers sacrificed their lives in this confrontation."  However, the military rejected Tiger claims and said only 38 government troops were killed and 84 wounded. The military said troops had killed 52 Tigers.  There was no independent verification of the claims. Unconfirmed reports said about 127 soldiers were killed or missing following the latest fire fight.<a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080423/wl_sthasia_afp/srilankaunresttoll_080423152418" target="_blank">AFP VIA YAHOO</a>---</blockquote>
