Ajantha Silva.He said it was unclear if there were any casualties.Rebel spokesman Rasiah Ilanthirayan could not be contacted immediately.Sri Lanka's air force has recently played a major role in the fight against separatist Tamil Tigers, with one strike earlier this month killing the rebels' political wing head S.P Tamilselvan, thought by many to be the No.2 in the outfit.There has been increased ground clashes and air strikes around Kilinochchi in recent weeks as part of the government's campaign to dismantle the rebel administration.The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, as the rebels are officially known, have fought the government since 1983 to create an independent homeland for ethnic minority Tamils after a history of discrimination.More than 70,000 people have been killed in the conflict.Copyright 2007 The Associated Press.
