An explosion in Sri Lanka has killed at least 60 people, most of them policemen, officials say.

A military spokesman said vehicles carrying explosives accidentally blew up at a police station near the eastern city of Batticaloa.

The explosives were being signed over to two Chinese road construction contractors, said Maj Gen Ubaya Medawala.

At least 40 people are reported to have been injured.

Maj Gen Medawala told the BBC it was an accidental explosion.

He said the explosives were being loaded on to several vehicles at the police station when one of them blew up, setting off the other explosives.

He said the cause of the initial blast was unknown, but "no sabotage is suspected at the moment".

Over 20,000 died in Sri Lanka rebels' defeat: report

Still not the final death toll of civilians , That may never come out ,  unfortunately , I believe this is way more than the amount of the sri lanka military , and tha Tamil Tigers put together !

LONDON (Reuters) - More than 20,000 Tamil civilians were killed in
the final days of Sri Lanka's military operation to defeat Tamil Tigers
rebels, The Times newspaper reported on Friday.

Sri
Lanka's authorities say their forces stopped using heavy weapons on
April 27 in a no-fire zone where an estimated 100,000 Tamil civilians
were sheltered and blame civilian casualties on rebels hiding among the
civilians, the paper said.

Citing
confidential U.N. documents it acquired, The Times said the civilian
death toll in the no-fire zone soared from late April, with around
1,000 civilians killed daily until May 19. That was the day after
Vellupillai Prabhakaran, leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
(LTTE), was killed.

The final civilian death toll could be more than 20,000, said the paper.

Sri Lanka says wins civil war, kills rebel leader

Apparently , The Sri Lanka Military has defeated the Tamil Tigers !  Having finally moved in , they have killed Vellupilli Prabhakaran , the leader of the LTTE , now maybe everyone can find out how many civilians have been killed through the whole ordeal !

COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lankan troops won the final battle in one of
the world's most intractable separatist wars, and put the island nation
under government control for the first time since 1983, the military
said.

In the climactic final gun battle, special forces troops killed
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran
as he tried to flee the war zone in an ambulance early on Monday, state
television reported.

LTTE intelligence chief Pottu Amman and Soosai, head of the "Sea
Tiger" naval wing, were also believed killed, the report said.
Prabhakaran founded the LTTE on a culture of suicide before surrender,
and had sworn he would never be taken alive.

Army commander Lt-Gen. Sarath Fonseka said troops on Monday morning
had finished the task President Mahinda Rajapaksa gave them three years
ago.

"We have liberated the entire country by completely liberating the
north from the terrorists. We have gained full control of LTTE-held
areas," Fonseka announced on state TV.

The end of combat and Prabhakaran's death sent the currency and
stock markets to one-month and seven-month highs respectively by 0900
GMT. They had already surged at the opening in anticipation of the
war's end.
