Police say that 15 bodies including six children have been found after a raid in east Sri Lanka on militants linked to the Easter bombings.
Police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara gave the figures today after a gunfight between soldiers and the suspected militants near Sammanthurai.
The gunbattle began this morning after police tipped off soldiers to a suspected safe house, where authorities say the militants set off three explosions and opened fire. At least three others were wounded in the attack.
Gunasekara says some of the dead likely were militants who blew themselves up in suicide bombings.
Earlier, the military said at least one civilian had been killed in the attack.
About 250 people died in six coordinated suicide bombings that ripped through Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday. The three hotels and two of the churches targeted were in or around Colombo, the capital. One was a Protestant church in the distant seaside town of Batticaloa.
