<b>Tigers defeat breakaway faction</b>
Main faction rebels after taking control of a town near Batticaloa
The main faction of Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels is now reportedly in full control of eastern areas after defeating a breakaway group.
The renegade leader, Colonel Karuna, is said to have fled the area and his forces have dispersed.
Hagrup Haukland, a spokesman for the international ceasefire monitors, said talks with rebels were "back on track".
Col Karuna broke away last month and fighting between the two factions erupted on Friday.
On Tuesday, the main faction freed more than 100 child soldiers who had been with the breakaway faction - the biggest single release of underage combatants in Sri Lanka's long conflict.
