More than 50 LTTE cadres are believed to have been killed along with five soldiers in fresh clashes between the LTTE and the army in the areas of Mannar, Weli Oya and Vavuniya over the weekend after a lull of few days in the North-East battlefield due to the continuing torrential rains.
In a fierce battle that took place in the areas of Ilanthaven and Parayakulam, South of Adampan, Mannar on Saturday which lasted for hours resulted in killing 25 LTTE cadres and injuring many.
The army had reportedly run over eight LTTE bunkers in the area forcing the Tigers to withdraw, as the weather improved after the rains which affected the battlegrounds for several days.
According to Media Centre for National Security, two soldiers were also killed and 16 others suffered serious injuries. The military casualties had immediately been airlifted to the Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital.
LTTE communication intercepts revealed that 25 terrorists killed and another 25 injured. The military had recovered 11 LTTE bodies following the clashes along with seven T-56 assault rifles during a search operation.
Meanwhile in separate confrontations that took place in Weli Oya, Janakapura, Kokkuthoduvai and Kiriibbanwewa around 14 LTTE cadres were reportedly killed and the military found a Multi-purpose Machinegun and a radio communication set.
During the Weli Oya clash, three soldiers were reportedly killed, the military sources said.
In South-East of Madhu, four terrorists were believed to have been killed in two separate confrontations on Saturday whilst in Kallikulam area in Vavuniya, 10 more cadres were killed.
Following the clashes the military found 70 Anti-personal Mines as well as four booby-traps from the area.
Meanwhile in Nagarkovil, Jaffna seven Tigers were reportedly killed along with two soldiers being injured during clashes.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka Airforce fighter jets took two targets on LTTE Sea Tiger Units located off the Mullaitivu coastal belt during Saturday which according to pilots, have completely been destroyed.

The war will be finished before the Sinhalese New Year!!
Oh Yes! Definitely. Of the 3000 so far about 2400 have been killed and the remaining 600 would be finished off within two weeks at the current killing figures averaging about 50 a day!
What I cannot understand is why we need the 5 new Mig29s in this urgency? To fight whom? 600 backbroken tigers?

Pakistan new Prime Minister wants to stop the blood letting in the name of War on Terror and talk to the religious extremists to seek a peaceful solution. In US too new contenders to the president want to talk to Iran, Syri, Hamas and Al Queda. In UK the advisors to the govt want to talk to Al Queda to seek a solution.
But in Sri Lanka the president and his brothers together with Sareth Fonseka want to kill as many Tamils and soldiers as possible with the delusion that military jingoism will suppress the minorities which in turn will enable them to force their 13th Amendment and Unitary Constitution down the throats of remaining quislings. |

No solution possible without LTTE South Africa
Some humans are driven by the animal instincts to kill and destroy. They refuse to learn from the past or from other civilised countries which resolved their ethnic problems peacefully and live in harmony. |
