Sri Lanka's president predicted on Wednesday the total defeat of Tamil Tiger rebels within a few days. As fighting rages, civilian casualties continue to rise. The Tamil Rehabilitation Organisation, an aid group widely regarded as a front organisation for the Tamil Tigers, has released footage of shells falling on a Tamil camp in the jungle as well as a hospital in Puthukkudiriruppu, as well as hundreds of civilians trying to flee the fighting.
