The Tamil Tigers have accused the Sri Lankan government of killing about 1,000 civilians and injuring many more during its latest military offensive. The government has denied the allegations, in turn accusing the rebel group of targeting civilians. It said by midday (0630 GMT) nearly 50,000 civilians had fled the rebel-held area in the north of the island. Meanwhile government forces say they have made inroads into the sliver of territory still held by the Tigers. They have entered two villages in the zone and in effect control the north-west third of it. Video report >> Warning! Graphic Video
