The Associated press has some good news from Sri Lanka:
Sri Lankan Airstrike Kills Tamil Leader
Sri Lankan fighter jets bombed a secret rebel communications center early Friday, killing the Tamil Tigers' political chief and five others in a strike certain to deal a sharp blow to the guerrillas' morale.
The killing of S.P. Tamilselvan, who acted as the public face of the rebels, was widely seen as a public relations coup for the government. But analysts feared it would further escalate the more than two-decade-old civil war and spark a cycle of political assassinations across this Indian Ocean island nation.
"This is a message that we know their leaders' location," Defense Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa told The Associated Press. "This confirms that our information is very accurate."
Heh... Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. They preach peace but are just terrorists at heart.
