Jets bomb LTTE base

In Thursday, air force jets pounded a Tamil Tiger base in the rebel-held Mullaitivu district, the military said, without giving details of damage or casualties.
Rebel spokesman Rasiah Ilanthirayan did not answer calls seeking comment. Both sides in the conflict exaggerate enemy casualties while underreporting their own. It was not possible to independently verify the reports because the fighting took place deep in the northern jungles, where access is restricted.
