The official, Shanmuganathan Ravishankar, also known as Col. Charles, was in charge of the rebels’ ground troop intelligence, the TamilNet Web site reported. He was killed by the roadside blast Saturday in northern Mannar district, it was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.

However, a Defense Ministry official said the military had not targeted Ravishankar with a bomb and that he may have been killed in one of several clashes with soldiers Saturday.
