noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:59:00 +0000

According to latest reports received the death toll at the LTTE village massacre at Kirimetiya has risen to 15 civilians, while 20 others including children had sustained serious injuries on Saturday (Feb 21).A group of LTTE terrorists stormed into the Kirimetiya village at Rathmalgaha Ella in Iginiyagala yesterday, opening indiscriminate small arms fire at civilians who were mainly Chena cultivators, Iginiyagala Police said.

The 'last-night-flight'- Security forces nail LTTE's rudimentary 'air wing'

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 05:58:00 +0000

Now cornered in a mere 87sq.km land patch in the Mullaittivu district the psycho terror chief Prabakaran may have thought to showcase a stunt out of his sleeves on Friday (Feb 20) in the Colombo skies pushing for a turn of tables, drawing skeptical analysis from the 'Colombian elites' and draconian media stooges, while simultaneously bluffing out the war mongering diaspora community with an action package for consumption. All, to his dismay ended in a failed note due to the resilience of a combined effort from the Sri Lankan security forces.The two LTTE improvised Czech manufactured Zlin-143 aircraft were brought down within an hour from its initial detection at Puthukkudiyirippu around 8.40p.m., due to rapid and precision anti-air gun fire. The two LTTE craft were making a desperate flee, losing sight of the initially designated targets in total disarray under the flurry of anti-air attacks.

Well coordinated communication, early detection and the preparedness of the forces paid off, denying LTTE what defence observers viewed as an abortive attempt to disrupt the prevailing normalcy in South, despite the continuation of military operations in Wanni.In anticipation of air threat, the city of Colombo was plunged into darkness as security forces made contingency manoeuvres fortifying all vulnerable locations, with specially trained gunners taking on positions awaiting the sight of enemy aircraft.Prabakaran's waning of fortunes continue as the end game for him and his outlaws have neared after three decades. According to defence observers, the LTTE chief's, strategic calculations have gone haywire with LTTE finally losing its stunt craft during a failed seventh mission into the heart of Colombo. Sri Lankan security forces have made it clear; 'no escape this time', a very prominent feature in the present military surge.

Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa speaking to local media immediate to the destruction of the LTTE aircraft said, "We knew the LTTE was planning an attack, the moment the aircraft were airborne as troops in the area informed us of the air movement even before the radars had picked them up. LTTE may have used a straight road in their last stronghold for taking off as the outfit had lost all the airstrips to the troops during the past few months. "The Tiger craft flew over Mannar, Wilpattu and came to Colombo," he said adding that "it was their normal route.""The troops would have captured the LTTE planes within days and the LTTE had acted before they lost the craft on the ground."They would have lost the planes anyway," he was quoted further saying.

Though many LTTE sympathizers are seeing making constant efforts to substitute the failed LTTE air mission to a 'Kamikaze type' attack it has now come to light as a 'sabotage mission' that never prevailed. An LTTE craft was gunned down crashing into the rear of the Inland Revenue Department, while the other fell after its pilot lost total control under the flurry of anti-air attack at Katunayake. An LTTE pilot was killed as a craft crashed into the Inland Revenue building after catching fire with the activation of the Colombo air defence systems damaging three storeys of the building and injuring 45 others including two airmen. Two of the victims both civilians succumbed to their injuries at the National Hospital. The other pilot's body was recovered with burns in close proximity of the LTTE aircraft wreckage at Katunayake.

"It is interesting to note that terrorists have not been able to release any of its improvised bombs despite nearly an hour flight and what more, the planes were shot down on the retreat adding more humiliation for the LTTE", a senior defence official said speaking to defence.lk.

The security forces have put in the last nails on the LTTE's rudimentary air capability as the Mullaittivu battles enter its final phase during the next few days. LTTE terrorists are now in all dire straits and this loss underscores the inevitable overall.

'Piece-makers': Dark secrets unravel as troops close-in on LTTE- Mullaittivu

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:35:00 +0000

The 7 Sinha Regiment (SR) troops of the 58 Division now operating in general area Sugandirapuram in the Mullaittivu district, have found a clock depicting images of the architects of the controversial 2002 CFA.The clock was made in Thailand and surely unravels the dark secrets of the then regime and LTTE. "Had the 2002 CFA existed, we surely have ended with two separate nations which was signed with callous disregard of sovereignty and the coexistence of the Sri Lankan people", a defence observer stated. It is also a well known fact, how a welfare minister of the same regime sent some 1000 odd wheel chairs and medical equipment for the LTTE to be distributed among its wounded cadres, and how a senior defence official paid a private visit to a hospitalized LTTE leader in Colombo: the well known 'apple call'," he further stated."It is not surprising to see LTTE equipped with high tech communication equipment, materials for bomb manufacturing, workshops for building vessels including submersible craft and vehicles including 'pajeros' and heavy earthmoving machinery. It was during that time allegations were levelled against the same regime for sending some 40odd containers with cement into LTTE's former garrison townships at Kilinochchi and Mullaittivu, which were said, used to construct hideouts and operational bunker complexes of the LTTE", he added."It is also during this period Colombo was made a safe heaven for the LTTE and security forces confined into barracks, which later rose grave agitations island wide with the string of LTTE perpetrated assassinations and killings of the Sri Lankan military intelligence personnel", the observer recalled memories."It was also during the same regime LTTE used brute force and piled ballots in the most corrupt general elections ever reported in the island's history in the North and East, makingway for its proxies to infiltrate the Sri Lankan parliament", the observer said.Also recalling the anti-media atmosphere that prevailed during this regime, the observer stated that, the writer and defence analyst Paul Harris, who worked in Sri Lanka between 1996 ad 2002 as correspondent for Jane's Intelligence Review and the London Daily Telegraph, was forced to leave Sri Lanka in November 2002 at 24 hours notice after the government of Ranil Wickremesinghe pulled his journalist visa.Mr. Paul Harris was critical of the Cease Fire Agreement between the 2002 regime and the LTTE.

The plight of Sri Lankan Tamil citizens held in captive by the LTTE terrorists has been th [Click to magnify/shrink] e most discussed topic these days among local and international bodies in the country. Many foreign bodies and international media are continuing to make weird comments on the situation with an unconcealed effort to detach the LTTE terrorist from the plight of the civilians.They deny accepting the fact that LTTE is forcibly holding the civilians in Wanni as a human shield and killing and maiming those who brave to defy its orders.

They devour any propaganda ploy of the LTTE and encourage the terrorists to make more stage managed events soaked with blood of the innocent.

They will continue to risk their lives, face death, until they rescue the last civilian under terrorist clutches.For those who killed millions in pursuit of mere economic gains, this kind of morality on the part of soldiers is unthinkable.
