MULLAITTIVU, Sri Lanka — The streets of Mullaittivu — patrolled by rebels just last week — were empty Tuesday except for stray dogs, abandoned cows and a few government soldiers.
The Tamil Tigers deserted the last major town under their control as Sri Lankan troops swept into the area, pushing the insurgents and thousands of residents into the nearby jungle and villages — the only remnants of the separatists’ shadow state.
