Sri Lanka's defence ministry has accused human rights and aid groups of supporting the rebel Tamil Tigers and trying to prolong the island's civil war.
It says these groups have made the continued bloodshed on Sri Lankan soil a lucrative business. The statement coincided with a fresh report from the New York-based Human Rights Watch that said indiscriminate army shelling was killing dozens of civilians every day in a supposed no-fire zone.
