Well well and I thought it was going to bve quiet today, guess not.
Specialsauce how are you still hooting about your MR who has brought it to this. He should have just let it go when the tigers agreed to talks, but being fed the punnakku by your SLA he got greedy thinking he could actually grab EP and other areas.
Now its not him or his goons paying the price but your average soldier. SO I wouldn't be praising MR, if you really are specialforces save you country and go put a bullet in MR's head, one life to save many lives.
Tamil Tigers launch new naval suicide raid
Colombo (dpa) - Suspected Tamil rebels have carried out a suicide bomb attack on a naval base located in southern Sri Lanka causing heavy damages and killing at least one sailor, military officials said Wednesday.
At least three huge explosions were reported from the Dakshina naval facility, located 117 kilometres south of the capital Colombo followed by gunfire on Wednesday at 7:50 a.m. (0150GMT).
'We heard three loud explosions and the area is covered with a thick cloud of smoke. We also can hear sounds of firing,' military officials said.
Military officials believe that the navy camp may be under attack from suspected Tamil rebels from the sea.
'We believe that three suicide attackers came by boat and exploded themselves inside the navy camp,' a military officer said.
Galle is a popular tourist destination, but there was no danger to tourists as hotels are not located near the navy base.
A journalist in the area said that 45 minutes after the blasts gun shots were still heard.
On Monday, suspected Tamil rebels carried out a suicide bombing of a convoy of buses, killing 95 sailors and eight civilian employees of the military.

From the account there I'd say they took out a bit more than two boats eh special sauce, sounds like an armoury was hit too if the area is covered in smoke, or a fuel store, and gunfire 45 mins after the first explosions.
Well we'll know more in a few hours, till then have a good one folks, Sansare, Chandana bros take care. Edited By - Revy - 18 Oct 2006 04:38:45 GMT |
