Sri Lanka rebels may go to Japan, army patrol hit

Yahoo: "Sri Lanka's Tamil Tigers said on Monday they may be willing to attend Japanese-hosted peace talks in Tokyo and denied responsibility for an attack on an army patrol that injured two soldiers.

The morning claymore mine attack -- on a foot patrol near the eastern town of Batticaloa shortly before a military convoy passed through -- was the fourth in recent weeks as a 2002 truce comes under mounting pressure and fears of a return to war rise."
