Berty i don't know who was the insider but whatever he is its huge blow to the ltte war machine and the morale of its cadres...
I don't think it is a BIG Catch! TS is very similar to Anton Bala..he basically was groomed to take over from Anton when AB was getting weaker. I don't think TS brains is what VP wants
Koti
The place where they got TS and the other political leaders is not a secret hiding like other bunkers. so it was not a mistake..If your saying it is a mistake then surely they are dropping bombs without proper LTTE targets and it is like your accepting targeting civilians..That will be even worse!!I think you may want to re-think that theory!! |

Traditionally, Sri Lanka's civil war has been based in the North-East province. Control of various towns and cities have changed hands several folds during the 25years of conflict between the Tamils and Sinhalese.
Now, as a new phase of war begins, the LTTE are clearly not keen on the same old real-estate war in the North-East, analysts say.
They say this is mainly due to lessons learnt during the last phase of war during the beginning of the millennium.
During this period the LTTE overran a number of Sri Lanka Army (SLA) camps and captured major bases such as the Elephant Pass complex causing heavy casualties to the Sri Lankan military.
Analysts say that these achievements alone were not enough to force the Sri Lankan government into seeking peace with the Tamils. Instead the military launched counter offensives to re-capture lost areas.
However, analysts say, one devastating attack on the Katunayake Airbase right in the heart of Sinhala land, changed the cause of events and brought the Sri Lankan government to peace talks.
Speaking to TamilEditors.com political analyst Jeyaraj says: 'LTTE knows that only attacks on military and economic centres right in the heart of the Sinhala region would bring any political solution.
'If LTTE captures Jaffna, the military would go for Kilinochchi. If LTTE captures Trincomalee, the military would go for Mulaiteevu. This is what has happened over the past 25 years, and now clearly the LTTE wants to change the pattern.
'After the LTTE attacked Kattunayake they came for peace talks. The hope it seems is that the selected targeting of centres of military and economic importance would finally force the Sri Lankan government to accept the Tamil people's right to self determination.'
October witnessed three such attacks in Hambantota and Anuradhapura respectively.
Analysts say that if recent behaviour is anything to go by, Galle or Kandy rather than Jaffna or Trincomalee are going to be the districts where the next big battles are going to be fought in.

Well, well. Loosing the east with help of TMVP, Tamil spies helping to kill TC. mind boggling! Must be entertainment for the Sinhalese!
Tamils should get at least one thing right and try and make more effort to stop child recruitment by LTTE. why LTTE make an announcement at begining of the year saying that they will stop, then 3 months later that they will stop the recruitment at end of the year?

KOTTI
here is what SF posted
'This is just a message, that we know where their leaders are. I know the locations of all the leaders, that if we want we can take them one by one, so they must change their hideouts,' he told Reuters.
'When the time comes only, we take them one by one.'
This was by Gothabhaya..so how can you say the AF got lucky..they knew all the LTTE leaders hiding places..!!
why didn't they report as soon as they got the target!! |
