SLanka rebels warn full-scale war if strikes resume Colombo, Aug 6, 2006 Tamil Tiger rebels who agreed to end a bitter water dispute Sunday warned peace broker Norway that they would resort to full-scale war if Sri Lanka resumes air strikes, a spokesman told AFP.

"If the government carries out any more air strikes or artillery attacks, we told Norway that we were afraid we will consider it as full-scale war in future," spokesman Velayudan Dayanidi said.
