{mosimage}  COLOMBO, Nov 25 (Reuters) -- Sri Lankan air force jets bombed a Tamil Tiger suicide fighter camp near the rebels' northern stronghold on Saturday, the military said, adding it believed it had inflicted heavy losses.
  The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) said the air force had dropped bombs a few kilometres away from their nerve-centre of Kilinochchi, but had no details of any damage or casualties.
 
  "The air force has hit a Black Tiger (suicide fighter) base," a military spokesman said. He said jets had dropped bombs over the village of Iranamadu, around 4 miles (6 km) south of Kilinochchi. "It is reported there were heavy losses inflicted."
 
  The bombing comes after days of air force raids on rebel positions, and is the latest in a string of military clashes and battles that have killed more than 3,000 civilians, troops and Tigers so far this year alone.
