Sri Lanka army chief: Troops have taken key rebel stronghold
Sri Lankan soldiers have seized a key rebel stronghold after launching a surprise attack early Sunday morning, the head of Sri Lanka’s army announced.

Troops crossed a lagoon and entered the town of Mullaittivu before encountering heavy resistance from Tamil fighters, according to the government-run news agency.
"Our troops fought their way through a 40 km (25 mile) thick jungle track," Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka said in a televised address on Sunday.

What Do You Know About Tamil Tigers And Sri Lanka?

I am taking a History class on Indian civilization, and we have each been assigned a character to develop. My character that I'm supposed to create has to be based on a Tamil Tiger. I just finished watching the movie "A Peck on the Cheek" about a young Tamil woman who is forced to give up her child (for adoption) while a refugee. Nine years later, that little girl finds out that she has been adopted and searches for her biological mother. At this point in the movie the viewer sees a lot of battle scenes between the Sri Lankan government and the Tigers. I am just wondering if anyone out there has anything they can tell me about this conflict that I might not be able to find on the web or through movies (which we all know are 100% correct =)
