Thamilchelvan killed in SLAF air attack

Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) are clearly shifting their military strategy to include areas outside of the traditional North-East war zone in an effort to take Sri Lanka's war to the Sinhala majority's doorstep, analysts say.

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.

Really what happened to Rebel spokesmen?

This time someone from Vanni gave the right info and the
Air Force showed what they are capable of.

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.
