Handout photo of Sri Lankan soldiers linking up on a beach inside No Fire Zone
18.05.2009In this photograph released by the Sri Lankan military on May 16, 2009 shows what the army says are government soldiers of the 58th Division linking up with soldiers from the 59th Division on a beach inside the 'No Fire Zone' where they have surrounded the Tamil Tiger rebels for the final battle in a quarter-century conflict. Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa on Saturday said the Tamil Tigers had been militarily defeated as soldiers seized control of the entire coastline for the first time in a 25-year war. Rajapaksa spoke after troops took control of the Indian Ocean island nation's entire coast for the first time since war broke out in 1983, cutting off the Tigers' last hope of escape from a military advance aimed at crushing separatist resistance.
