 Sri Lanka ‘downs Tamil Tiger planes’ 
 

Tamil Tigers have claimed success in what they say was a suicide air attack on Colombo.

But the government has released a video it says shows the two aircraft being shot down before they reach their targets, averting a major disaster.

Experts say it shows LTTE still have the capability to strike deep into government territory.
