Sri Lanka troops responsible for killing 17 aid workers:

COLOMBO (AFP) - Nordic truce monitors in Sri Lanka have said that government forces were responsible for the killing earlier this month of 17 local employees of the French charity Action Against Hunger.

The Swedish-led monitors of a 2002 ceasefire also said in a statement Wednesday that Sri Lankan troops blocked their access to the northeast town of Muttur in a bid to conceal the mass killing.

"The killing of the 17 civilian aid workers in Muttur on the 4th of August 2006 is ruled as a gross violation of the ceasefire agreement by the Security Forces of Sri Lanka," the monitors said.

The statement said chief monitor Ulf Henricsson had confidential discussions with "highly reliable sources" about those responsible for the killings.

"The views have not proved contradictory and the security forces of Sri Lanka are widely and consistently deemed to be responsible for the incident.

"Taking into consideration the fact that the security forces had been present in Muttur at the time of the incident, it appears highly unlikely to blame other groups for the killings."

The killing of the aid workers in Muttur in northeast Sri Lanka came during a spike in tit-for-tat attacks between the rebels and the government that has left the ceasefire in tatters. At least 1,500 people have been killed in fighting since December.

The Sri Lankan government had ordered an investigation into the killings and called in Australian forensic experts to assist with the probe.

The rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam blamed the government for the deaths. The government in turn accused the rebels.

Troops and Tamil Tiger rebels fought fierce battles in mid-August around Muttur, forcing around 42,000 civilians to flee to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

The aid workers were killed "execution-style" according to those who saw their bodies several days after the killing
