Sri Lankan elite Special Task Force (STF) police commandos search an auto rickshaw for explosives near Independence Square in Colombo, 05 July 2007, amid fears of more rebel attacks. Tamil Tiger rebels commemorated the 20th anniversary of their first-ever suicide bombing by honouring 322 fighters who have staged such deadly attacks. The suicide attacks by the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) started when a guerrilla known as Captain Miller drove a truck bomb into soldiers killing 40 in the Jaffna peninsula on July 5, 1987. The Tamil Tigers are fighting for an independent homeland for the minority ethnic Tamils on the majority Sinhalese island. The 35-year-old conflict has claimed more than 60,000 lives
