new5: Sri Lanka

The accusations came after the government announced Thursday that it had re-demarcated the no-fire zone to encompass a new area 2 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide. Earlier, the zone had encompassed more than 6 square kilometers.
More than 2,000 were feared dead, many of them women and children, after government shelling, according to the rebel Web site Tamilnet.com. The exact number of victims had yet to be tallied, the site said.
But a government official told CNN that there was no shelling in the no-fire zone during that time.
CNN could not independently verify the accounts, because the government does not allow members of the news media independent access to areas where it is fighting the rebels.
On Friday, a group of independent U.N. experts urged the U.N. Human Rights Council to investigate what it called a "critical" situation in Sri Lanka.
More than 196,000 people have fled the battle zone, according to the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
Tamil Tiger rebels have been fighting for an independent state in Sri Lanka's northeast since 1983.
