Tamil Tigers 'shoot soldier dead' (BBC)
The Sri Lankan government says Tamil Tiger rebels have shot dead a soldier on the third anniversary of a ceasefire between the two sides.
Defence ministry spokesman Daya Ratnayake said the soldier was killed and another injured in the incident at Killali in northern Jaffna district.
There was no immediate comment from the Tamil Tigers.
The ceasefire has been under pressure recently from incidents such as the killing of a senior rebel leader.
Under pressure
Mr Ratnayake said the dead soldier had just finished duty and had gone to investigate a noise when he was shot.
His colleague was injured on investigating the first shooting.
One military source told the AFP news agency the soldier had strayed into a 500-metre section that separated government and rebel-held land.
The Scandinavian-led Sri Lankan Monitoring Mission that oversees the ceasefire has begun an investigation.
Both the army and rebels had been under pressure to observe restraint during the anniversary period.
More than 60,000 people have died since the rebels began their fight for a homeland for minority Tamils.
The biggest recent threat to the ceasefire came with the death of E Kaushalyan, the most senior Tiger killed since it began in February 2002.
The rebels blamed the government for carrying out the killing.
The government denied the accusation and said it was carried out by a rival rebel faction.
On Tuesday, the Tamil Tigers' political wing leader, SP Thamilselvan, accused the government of engaging in a "secret war".
The peace monitors say the recent violence must be stopped.
"Assassinations and killings... have without a doubt poisoned the atmosphere between the parties and led to an unsafe environment creating fear among the general public," Hagrup Haukland, the head of the monitoring mission, said.
