(NSI News Source Info) COLOMBO, Sri Lanka - May 3, 2009: Handout photograph released by the Sri Lankan military April 27, 2009 shows what the army say is a Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) transmission tower they discovered hidden in the 'No Fire Zone' in northern Sri Lanka. 
Sri Lanka on Monday said combat with heavy weapons was over in a last pocket of territory held by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and they were shifting their focus to rescuing civilians trapped there.
The announcement came a day after the government dismissed an attempt to declare a truce by the rebels, now cornered in less than 10 square km (4 sq mile) of coastline by a military juggernaut aiming to end a war that started in 1983.
