Liberation Tigers launched a commando raid Saturday night into Vavuniyaa Mannaar border villages where the SLA had recently advanced its Forward Defence Line (FDL), LTTE Military Spokesman Irasiah Ilanthirayan said. The Tigers have destroyed a SLA artillery launchpad, seized military hardware including a Buffel Armoured Personnel Carrier and established their FDL positions in Mu`l`likku`lam and Vi`laththikku`lam, Mr. Ilanthiryan said. Meanwhile, informed military sources in Vavuniyaa said 20 SLA troopers were killed, 40 wounded, an ammunition dump was destroyed in Pampaimadu, and that the Tigers have seized a big haul of weapons in their raid Saturday night. Fighting is still continuing.
The photos issued by the LTTE to media indicate that the Tigers have recovered at least one dead SLA soldiers body.
The Tiger spokesman said the mission of their raid was succesful in restoring their FDL positions.
Medical sources said more than 40 wounded soldiers were admitted at Anuradhapura hospital from Vavuniyaa.
Meanwhile, Sri Lankan military sources in Colombo have claimed SLA has inflicted heavy losses to the Tigers and said 35 SLA troopers were wounded in the attack.
According to Tiger officials, a fierce fighting was still continuing in the area where the SLA has been pushed back.
The SLA has launched an artillery barrage using Multi Barrel Rocket Launchers. Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) bombers were also engaged in bombing suspected Tiger positions.

| LTTE may have launched a attack to the SLA detachment in Vavuniyaa Mannaar border villages. But SL military has not confirmed yet the attack. These types of attacks cannot be stoped from both sides unless there is a strong vigilant military force. Even LTTE recaptured SLA recently advanced its Forward Defence Line (FDL), SLA will take that part agian in future. So what is the big success of it. |

Article: Tigers destroy SLA artillery launchpad in Vavuniyaa, 20 SLA troopers killed, 40 wounded
these poor soldiers who join the army to feed their families should kindly vacate themselves from the Tamil areas!

| What is the difference between an artillery Launch pad and the photo shown there. It should be a motar launch pad.... |

Guys,
the article is saying 'The Tigers have destroyed a SLA artillery launchpad'. but it looks more like a motar position isn't it? |

my recent past experience is that LTTE will loose ground in few weeks time. so we heard during Vakaraya, Mahavil aruwa, Samporya..
only time will tell. with all its might LTTE has only got 20% of their fake home land. |
