Civilians Killed in Sri Lanka's War Zone

(2 May 09 - RV) Artillery shells hit a makeshift hospital in a safe zone in Sri Lanka’s Northeast killing at least 64 civilians and wounding 87 others a government doctor said today. The reported artillery attacks came amid growing international concern over the fate of thousands of civilians, who remain trapped in a small area along the coast that had been declared a "no-fire zone" by the government.
