Senior minister Jeyaraj Fernandopulle, 55, was killed in the town of Weliveriya outside the capital Colombo.

The defence ministry said 22 more rebels the separatist group known as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had been killed in fresh fighting over the weekend, raising to 2,653 the number of rebels said to have been killed by security forces this year.

The LTTE have been fighting for autonomy for ethnic minority Tamils in the Sinhalese-majority island's north and east since 1972, a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people.
