COLOMBO, Oct 22 (Reuters) - The Tamil Tiger's nascent air wing dropped two bombs on an air force base in north Sri Lanka before dawn on Monday, the military said, but there were no immediate details of any damage or casualties from the land and air attack.

The rebel air strike in the north-central district of Anuradhapura comes months after the Tigers' first ever air attacks using light aircraft smuggled into the country in pieces and reassembled.

"An LTTE aircraft has come and dropped two bombs on the base," said military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara. "We have no details of any casualties."
