Apr 30, Colombo: Sri Lankan naval troops were forced to open fire during a search operation on LTTE Tigers who were hiding in a Hindu temple, Amman Kovil in Velani, Kayts on Sunday (29) killing five Tigers, the military said.

The confrontation also seriously injured the priest of the temple who later succumbed to his injuries.

Following information received from civilians that some Tiger cadres were hiding inside the Hindu temple the naval troops were carrying out a search operation in the area when they met with Tiger fire from inside as they were about to enter the temple, defense officials said.
A subsequent search into the premises led to the recovery of three T-56 weapons, seven hand grenades, two cyanide capsules and a detonator.

All five Tiger dead bodies were to be delivered to the ICRC after initial investigations are over, the military said.

In another incident in Welioya 6 LTTE cadres were killed during a confrontation with troops in the Kokkuthuduwai area yesterday morning, the Media Centre for national Security said.

Military officials said the army troops on a foot patrol came under fire from Tigers and retaliated against a LTTE small arms attack. A search operation following the confrontation discovered bodies of six LTTE cadres along with an arms cache of six T-56 assault rifles, six T-56 magazines, six pouches, three dog tags and an ICOM set.

The dead bodies of LTTE cadres are to be handed over to the ICRC today.
