Sri Lanka troops in major attack on Tiger jungle base

Thousands of Sri Lankan government troops have begun advancing towards a strategic Tamil Tiger rebel jungle base in the island`s restive east, military sources said Thursday.
Troops backed by artillery and multi-barrel rocket fire were advancing towards Thoppigala, a key base of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a military official said.
The thrust of troops came from Batticaloa district, backed by security forces in adjoining Ampara district, the sources added.
`We have not had any reports of casualties,` an officer in Ampara said. `About 10,000 families in neighbouring areas have fled and sought shelter in government-held areas.`
The latest offensive is the biggest since troops captured the town of Vakarai from the Tamil Tigers in January after weeks of heavy fighting.
The government has publicly said that it wants to clear the eastern province of Tamil Tiger rebels, and Thoppigala is the last rebel bastion in Batticaloa and Ampara districts.
There was no immediate comment from the Tigers about the latest military offensive, the latest in a long series of violations of a truce agreed in February 2002.

Jana.. It(a situation to count ambulances in Colombo) doesn't happened in operation of liberating Vakarai. This time LTTE will have to escape (strategically-as they say) from Thoppigala too..
Good Luck SLA..The ordinary Tamil people are with you together with the entire country except the hypocrites who are in payroll of LTTE and supported NGOs. |

| Keep up the offensive on these cowards. hit them while they are weak so that they willnever be able to raise their head again. To hell with the IC who has got only their intrest at heart. |
