Sri Lanka Air Force on Thursday attacked the Head Office of the Political Section of the Liberation Tigers of Tamileelalam and the LTTE Peace Secretariat, both located close to each other at the heart of the Ki'linochchi town. The attack, reported around 1:00 p.m., also caused damage to nearby houses and the roads. At least one civilian was killed and two wounded in the air-strike, according to initial reports.
The SLAF bombers disappeared from the sky as they came under LTTE anti-aircraft fire. However, the buildings have sustained heavy damage.
Both the offices have been used by the Norwegian peace facilitators and foreign diplomats in their dialogue with the leadership of the LTTE.
