Sea Tigers among TN fishing fleet

`The LTTE is operating alongside the large Tamil Nadu fishing fleet,` an authoritative official said, asserting that the LTTE remains active there contrary to stepped-up action against the group.
The SLN Saturday evening confronted two LTTE craft which moved across the international maritime boundary alongside a cluster of Indian fishing trawlers poaching in Sri Lankan waters. There had been at least two Indian naval vessels in the area at the time the incursion took place. `There were at least 60 trawlers. They were obviously shielding the Sea Tiger movement,` the official said. The SLN had swung into action north of Talaimannar as trawlers were moving towards LTTE-held Vidattaltivu.
This was against the backdrop of the SLN and a joint delegation of the Indian Navy and Coast Guard meeting onboard SLNS Sayura, near the maritime boundary line, to discuss the entire gamut of issues. During the confab, the SLN had emphasized the need to curb LTTE activity, particularly the use of the Tamil Nadu fishing fleet to facilitate clandestine operations.
Four Inshore Patrol Craft (IPCs) had intercepted the cluster. `We used loud hailers to order them back. Sea Tiger craft, which had been in the midst of the cluster had moved away from the cluster and sped towards Vidattaltivu,` the official said.
The IPCs had chased the enemy craft. `They fired two RPG (rocket propelled grenade) rounds at our craft without success. They also fired a light machine gun and a general purpose machine gun,` the official said. The SLN had destroyed both craft killing six LTTE cadres. One of them is believed to be a senior cadre who had lost a leg in a previous confrontation with security forces. The SLN is trying to establish his identity. Speculation is that some of them may have taken cyanide to avoid being captured by the SLN.
Contrary to expectations, the LTTE had not launched boats from Vidattaltivu to help the trapped cadres.
The SLN had sizably strengthened its presence on the Mannar coast to intercept enemy boat movements across the Palk Straits. The SLN had inflicted sizeable losses on the LTTE. During some of the confrontations, the SLN had destroyed Indian trawlers commandeered by the LTTE. A case in point was the destruction of a large trawler carrying a consignment of mortars and the subsequent rescue of an Indian fisherman last November. The recent destruction of another Indian trawler commandeered by the LTTE in Maldivian waters had highlighted urgent need to take meaningful action against the group.

FAREEK,
It is good that you said that. So you agree that those across the strait are your brethren. Hmm..so we have at least one Tamil after Anton Stanislaus who agree that SL Tamils are not Native to SL but a group descended from across the strait. Not bad eh..!!
Pity that no Lata is concerned about the plight of Sinhalas in Sri Lanka, no matter where ever Lata Country is!!

Abducted engineer?s body found in Puwakpitiya
By Kurulu Kariyakarawana
The body of a Tamil Communication Engineer, who was reportedly abducted by an unknown gang demanding a ransom of Rs.5 million, was found yesterday in the Awissawella area after police arrested two suspects over the weekend.
The victim identified as Vigneswara Kadasaranath Mahodaral (27) was reported missing on July 15 when he was returning home from Wellawatta with his father.
Kotahena police arrested two Tamil nationals on Saturday and when questioned it was reported that the two had admitted responsibility for the abduction of Mr. Vigneswara.
The police said the two suspects had given directions to the place where the victim was killed and the body dumped, a remote rubber estate in Puwakpitiya in Awissawella. The body was unearthed by the Kotahena police with the assistance of the Awissawella police.
According to Kotahena police the victim, an electronics and communication degree holder from the Madras University had been awaiting a suitable job after returning to the country on completion of his education.
Victim?s father who is a well known dentist had told the police that soon after the disappearance of their son an unidentified caller had demanded a sum of Rs.5 million for his release.
The caller had phoned several times demanding the money but the family members had expressed their inability to pay such a big amount.
According to the Crime Detection Bureau of the Kotahena police the two suspects identified as Kanna and Seelan were arrested from Mutwal and one of them was a frequent visitor to the Kotahena police station.
It was reported that one of these suspects who ran a welding shop, once worked at the victim?s house to repair an iron grill.
Police detectives believe that several more persons are involved in the abduction drama. Kotahena police Chief Inspector Neranjan Abeywardena and SI Atula are conducting investigations.

Not only the Tamils across the sea support LTTE - (The Wolrd's No 2 Deadly TERRORISTS out fit) BUT also all Criminals & crooks of Tamil origin around the world support LTTE.
Some LTTE supporters recently carried out 'hunger strikes' to pressurise UK governemtn to accept Tamil crooks & criminals as UK citizens under bogus asylum.
Poor LTTE: UK packed and deported them gang by gang. Most of other west contries follow the suit. Soon there will be suicide bombers in all around UK.

I meant that srilankan tamils and indiantamils use the same language
fareek:: poor you. 1 million Tamils in SriLank claim their homeLand is in N/E of SriLanka. You are deliberately insulting your so called 'bretheren' in India (70 mili) indirectly telling them they are invaders or migrants in India. 70 million Tamils... where the heck they were coming from..... must be from their homeland in SriLanka. (That means SriLanka population WAS almost 90 millions.. THE JOKE OF THE WEEK)
Not only that... there are Muslims in SriLanka who speak same language as you do, so they (Muslims) are too your brotheren, and then all Islamic Muslims around the world too can be considered as your Brotheren.
So much for the LTTE TERRORISTS war:: there are lot of brothers around the world supporting the Criminals the Crooks the LTTE - The No 2 Worlds Deadly TERRORISTS out fit.
Fareek.. I even pity my self why we sinhalese have no Brotheren in any where in the world (like Tamils have) BUT ONLY IN SRILANKA. soo poor we sinhalese.
