Tamil civilians mourn during the funeral of Tamil Tiger political chief E. Kausalyan and his colleagues, slain by gunfire in February in Thandiyady, about 205km east of Colombo, Sri Lanka. About 90 percent of the 425 fatalities reported across Sri Lanka since the government and the Tamil Tiger rebels signed a Norwegian-brokered ceasefire in 2002 have occurred in Eastern Sri Lanka, a resource-filled but poverty-ridden region which has become the latest killing field in Sri Lanka's mired civil war after the rebels split in March last year.
