Colombo (AP): Air force jets bombed and destroyed the Tamil Tiger rebels' radio station on Tuesday just an hour before the group's top leader was to make his annual Hero's Day speech, the rebels said.

Two Kfir jets dropped 12 bombs on the radio station, killing civilian employees who were preparing to air rebel leader Velupillai Prabhakaran's speech, a rebel statement said.

Details on casualties were still being gathered, the statement said.
