Sri Lanka's military has denied that it shelled a makeshift hospital in a Tamil Tiger-held conflict zone in the northeast of the country, in which a hospital official said at least 67 people died.Unconfirmed reports by TamilNet, a pro-Tamil website, said that the hospital in Mullivaikal was hit by artillery shells fired by government forces on Saturday.Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, Sri Lanka's military spokesman, said that the claims were the latest in a series of "exaggerated stories" by those sympathetic to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)."There is no shelling taking place; we have never shelled this place and it happened in an area where the LTTE [are in control]," "They must take the full responsibility for the people who were killed or injured."
