COLOMBO, Sri Lanka: Government forces captured the last Tamil Tiger rebel base in Sri Lanka's volatile east on Wednesday, the army chief said.

Troops seized the Tigers' sole remaining base in Thoppigala, army commander Lt. Gen. Sarath Fonseka told The Associated Press.

Thoppigala has caves and crannies that have made it an ideal hiding place for guerrillas, and government forces have been struggling to seize it for 14 years
