Tamil rebels kill 12 labourers in Sri Lanka



Colombo, May 30 (DPA) Twelve labourers working for an irrigation project in eastern Sri Lanka have reportedly been killed by suspected Tamil rebels, military sources said Tuesday.

The workers employed in the Ampara region, 290 km east of the capital were believed to have been killed Monday after they were abducted by the rebels, said military spokesman Prasad Samarasinghe.

He said that two workers, who escaped with gun shot injuries, reported the incident to the police and have been admitted to hospital.

The incident occurred just hours before the EU listed the Tamil rebels of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) as a terrorist organisation.

The EU move is expected to freeze the assets of the LTTE and to lead to a crackdown on fund-raising for the Tigers, who are accused by human rights organisations of extorting money from Tamils living abroad.

Meanwhile, the key donor countries backing Sri Lanka's peace process are meeting in Japan to discuss measures on how to bring back the LTTE for negotiations with the Sri Lankan government and prevent the country sliding back to war.

The country's security situation has further deteriorated since April 7 and more than 375 people - civilians, soldiers and rebels -have been killed.

The LTTE have been fighting for a separate homeland for ethnic Tamils and the conflict has claimed 70,000 lives since 1972.
