    Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels have decided to lay down their arms after admitting that the conflict in the north of the island had reached a "bitter end".

    The rebel declaration on Sunday came shortly after the army said that at least 70 Tamil Tigers had been killed as they tried to flee the conflict zone.
    "This battle has reached its bitter end," Selvarajah Pathmanathan, the international spokesman of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), said in a statement on the pro-separatist Tamilnet website.

    "We have decided to silence our guns. Our only regrets are for the lives lost and that we could not hold out for longer," he said.
