The Sri Lankan army says it's captured more territory from the Tamil Tigers. The Ministry says advancing government troops have effectively cut the last remaining strip of Tiger territory in the northeast of the island in half. Sri Lankan authorities had set a 24 hour deadline for the Tigers to surrender but the rebels ignored the ultimatum.
