SLA commando units spearheading the eastern offensive advanced further into the dense jungles of Thoppigala reaching another milestone today. Advancing commandos have captured several strategic points in the region with the help of SLA light infantry, artillery and rocket regiments.
Meanwhile, military intelligence have learnt that most major LTTE leaders in the eastern province have fled to Wanni. Those who are lower in the LTTE command structure have been left to fight a battle that is seemingly impossible to win. Special Forces, Commandos and light infantry have virtually surrounded the tiger territory leaving very few escape routes for the trapped LTTE cadres.
Army's Long Range Surveillance (LRS) units operating in the northern province carried our several successful assaults on key LTTE intelligence wing members during the past week. More details on these assaults cannot be revealed for security reasons. Increased LRS activity in the north is said to be one of the major concerns of LTTE leadership as of now. |

Rasak:

This shows clearly how 'intelligent' those military fools are... They said Toppigala is 'completly surrounded' a few weeks ago... now, saying all leaders are gone...
May be TAF came in the night and took them to Vanni...
ha ha ha sweet news to SLA fools and other Modayas who eat this kind of punnakku! |

Watch Tony Birtley's full report here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfqimW3xdgg
By Tony Birtley in Batticaloa, Sri Lanka
In the dead of night, a half moon shining above, 50 men from the Sri Lankan infantry inch their way along a mud track softened by a brief downpour of rain.
We moved with them, passing within a few hundred metres of Tamil Tiger
No one spoke, wary of the hit and run expertise of one of the deadliest guerrilla forces in the world.
The other concern was mines and the fear that your next step could be your last.
Through the night the sound of artillery and mortar fire echoed through the dark as the army pounded Tiger positions around Thoppigala, near Batticoloa in the east of the country.
Sri Lanka's military says it is making significant inroads against the Tigers in the east of the country, although the rebels remain strong in the north.
The target of this operation: A bridge which the Tigers had specially constructed for the movement of supplies.
To cut this artery would seriously effect their movement and capability in the east, the army told us
It took two days to get within sight of the bridge. Sappers cleared a way through the minefields and the final assault began.
The army fired grenades and hit their enemy with small calibre and heavy machinegun fire. We moved into the area.
The Tigers responded with gunfire and one mortar round which fell within 40 metres of us. No one was hurt.
Soldiers opened up with constant fire. It came from all around us as infantrymen joined in the fight. They crouched behind buildings, disused machinery and deserted Tiger positions.
Suddenly there was a kind of panic - the Tigers had flanked us and began firing.
Cameraman Justin Okines and I sprinted for cover.
Now firing was coming from two directions - typical Tiger tactics, I was told.
I found no comfort in that.
Commanders were unsure of the outcome. 'You must go back,' one said. 'It is too dangerous.'
We left quickly being taken out of the fire zone on the back of motorbikes. I spoke to the camera about what had happened.
It was only later when I played it back that I heard the fear and exhilaration in my voice.
The flanking movement, we were informed, was to enable the Tigers to recover their wounded and dead and retreat back into the jungle.
The bridge was taken but not secure. The Tigers laid down fire to keep the soldiers away.
They had blown the bridge up before they fled but army engineers said it would take only a week to repair.
In the captured position bullet casings and flip-flops were the only signs of the guerillas presence; their bunker made up of sacks of rice donated by humanitarian organisations.
Mindful of criticism from human rights groups, officers were keen to stress that, to their knowledge, no civilians had been hurt in the operation.
Most were worried about being identified because of being traced by Tiger hit squads.
The bridge was one just objective for the Sri Lankan army. There are many more in this area.
After 10 months of fighting in the east we were told that the Tiger strength in the region is down to about 500 and they have been pushed back to an area of around 700 square kilometres.
The military is happy because they say for the first time the government is giving them a clear strategy and the backing that will allow them to seriously weaken the Tamil Tigers.
The Tigers though are not finished. They have been wounded, but they are still dangerous.
They control a huge swathe of the north of the country and can still wreak havoc with bombings and suicide attacks, even in the supposedly secure areas of the capital.
Everyone agrees a solution to this terrible conflict can only be achieved through negotiation, not by fighting.
'We need to sort this out now,' a young major told me. 'We can't leave it for the next generation.' |

Sinhalese have only one mother country which is SRI LANKA
Tamils, they of course come from India and their motherland should be TAMIL NADU
Looking at the history, whether we won or not, freedom fights were done by Sinhalese only.
Generally South Indian Tamils were employed by Europeans for cheap labour everywhere in the world. Even Indian government due to mass population, use Tamils to work in Gulf and other developing countries.
This doesn't mean that Tamils can claim land in any of these countries after some time.
Like any part of the world (i./e canada, europe etc..), Sri Lanka has given citizenship and passport to these Tamils to live in harmony as Sri Lankan citizens.
Can Tamils do this sort of freedom fight in any other countries??
This is a mistake of sinhalese and Sri Lankans by accommodating Tamils to such extent, so now Tamils are trying claim land from a Sinhalese country.
This is nothing but Tamils taking advantage of good nature of Sinhalese and Sri Lankans//
Time is up you Tamil boys and girls to get back to Tamil Nadu where you came from!!
Its high time to shape out OR ship out from mother lanka
Good day...........
LT
