Sri Lanka's military says at least 11 government soldiers and seven
separatist Tamil rebels were killed in overnight gunbattles in the
north of the Island nation.
The fighting comes on the eve of a
South Asian summit in the capital, Colombo, expected to be
dominated by first-ever talks between Indian Prime Minister
Monmohan Singh and Pakistan's new premier Yousuf Raza Gilani.
