STF moves into Tiger territory

The Special Task Force (STF) on Thursday regained areas in the Ampara district, bringing them under government control for the first time in 20 years.
The offensive was launched in the Kanjikudichchi Aru area, a former stronghold of the LTTE from where many of the operations in the Eastern Province were organized by the LTTE.
Many of the massacres reportedly organized by the LTTE were also carried out from this base.
In a three-pronged attack carried out from Pottuvil, Pannaloya and Moneragala, STF personnel advanced into LTTE-controlled areas.
The Air Force backed the operation by launching air strikes.
The fresh attacks came as the STF in a separate operation on Thursday in the Karandaoya area, off Pottuvil, arrested three people involved in a timber racket.
The suspects were arrested and handed over to the Lahugala Wildlife Office for further investigation. The three bullock carts along with implements were also seized. The arrested suspects will be produced before courts.
STF sources said that due to protests launched by some Muslims backed by the LTTE after the killing of 10 Muslim civilians, the STF was withdrawn from Pottuvil, but due to appeals by others the STF was redeployed in the area.
Meanwhile, in Mannar, the STF repulsed an attack by the LTTE on Thursday inflicting casualties on the Tigers.

Those who have dealt with the LTTE over a long period of time in India feel it is foolhardy to think that there can be any solution other than a negotiated one and are more than convinced that neither side can achieve an outright military victory.
What has upset Indians is that despite professing the best of intentions, New Delhi's pleas were shunned, with disastrous consequences on the battlefield.
'Only about three months ago they were pleading for our help. Suddenly they were behaving as if they were capable of destroying the LTTE,' a source with access to high-level thinking told IANS here. 'It was foolishness.'
While India is pleased that the ruling Sri Lanka Freedom Party and the main opposition United National Party are on a fence-mending drive, with an eye on resolving the ethnic conflict, New Delhi is clear on two issues: Sri Lanka should not be broken up, and there has to be a federal governance that will satisfy the legitimate political aspirations of the Tamil minority.
Pointed out that federalism was anathema to many Sinhalese, the source, speaking strictly on condition of anonymity, said: 'Then Sri Lanka must be prepared to face the consequences.'
Irrespective of how long it lasts, New Delhi thinks that only a genuine ceasefire that takes care of the interests of ordinary people in the island's northeast will ultimately prove to be the key to peace.
Unending bloodshed, which kills innocents and displaces civilians on a large scale, can only further boost hardliners on both sides of the ethnic divide. |

Yes, lets wait.
Lets hope that STF will pull the trick.
