Tiger numbers 'halve in 25 years' ... rebels have bombed and sank a navy cargo ship at the eastern port town of Trincomalee.
A navy spokesman said no crew members were on board at the time. Earlier, a bomb-blast in a cafй in the eastern town of Ampara killed at least 11 people and injured 29 others. The government has also blamed that bombing on Tamil Tiger rebels. The two attacks came just hours ahead of local elections in Sri Lanka's eastern province scheduled. These are the first polls to be held in the region in 20 years. The government wrested control of the country's east from the rebels last July.
