He said 1,122 others had been injured - and more bodies were lying on beaches and by the sides of roads. He said heavy arms appeared to have been fired from government-run territory into a mainly civilian area under the rebel control. The army denied shelling the designated "safe zone" for civilians. The government said the Tigers had done the firing. The Sri Lankan government is dismissive of calls from him and other diplomats for a ceasefire in the north: it says it is about to defeat the rebels permanently and that a ceasefire would not help civilians. In response to claims of civilian deaths, military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said the Tamil Tigers had used artillery and mortar fire on two occasions on Saturday morning, directed against civilians within their zone. Sri Lankan defence spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella also told the BBC that reports of government shelling were "propaganda" of the Tigers.</blockquote>
