Sri Lanka's military says it's trying to establish how the Tamil Tigers managed to buy foreign planes and smuggle them into the country to establish an air force. The probe comes after an air assault by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam on the capital, Colombo, using two apparently Czech-made aircraft.
