The United Nations in Sri Lanka has accused the Tamil Tigers of forcibly recruiting one of its staff members.

It is among many incidents of LTTE forcibly recruiting civilians and children as young as 14, the UN said in a statement.

"The LTTE continues to actively prevent people leaving, and reports indicate that a growing number of people trying to leave have been shot and sometimes killed," the statement added.
