Sri Lankan jets bomb Tamil rebels' naval headquarters, military says

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) - Sri Lankan air force jets bombed the Tamil Tiger rebels' naval headquarters Saturday as the group's sea wing leader was holding a meeting, the military said.
The air force targeted the base near Puthukudiyiruppu village in rebel-held Mullaitivu district, a defense official said on condition of anonymity, citing government rules.
Pilots confirmed hitting the compound but did not provide details about the fate of the rebel naval leader known as Soosai, he said.
