Sri Lanka tourist city port hit

Tamil Tiger rebels have carried out a suicide attack on a naval base in the southern tourist city of Galle, the Sri Lankan military says.
Two rebel boats exploded damaging navy vessels, while fighters in another two boats reached shore as shots were exchanged, security forces said.

It is the first time a tourist hub has been caught up in the latest fighting.

On Monday, nearly 100 sailors were killed in the deadliest suicide bombing in the conflict.
