Colombo, September 20, SPA -- Sri Lankan air force jets bombed a major Tamil Tiger ammunition storage site Thursday morning, setting off a wave of explosions in northern Sri Lanka that lasted more than 1 1/2 hours, the Associated Press quoted the air force as saying. The bombing of the underground bunker near Puthukkudiyiruppu, in the rebel-controlled area of northern Sri Lanka, dealt a major blow to the Tigers ability to fight off the military, said air force spokesman Group Capt. Ajantha Silva. The bombing set off a series of secondary blasts as the ammunition in the bunker exploded, he said.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/484241
