Sri Lanka Tamil Tiger breakaway group member shot dead

April 15, 2007 (AFP) - Suspected Tamil Tiger rebels shot dead a member of a breakaway group in eastern Sri Lanka as the country marked the start of the traditional New Year, the defence ministry said Sunday.

The victim, identified as a member of a Tamil faction known as the "Karuna Group" believed allied with government forces, was killed Saturday in the Batticaloa district where five people were gunned down the same day by suspected rebels, the ministry said.

Tiger rebels denied killing the five people and blamed the military for the deaths.
