Lankan News Replies

Defence sources in the Wanni battlefront citing intelligence reports say that LTTE terrorists have ordered the priests in the Madhu church to leave church premises with immediate affect. According to the sources, LTTE terrorists have issued their orders today (April 3) with the full backing of an influential terrorist supporter in Mannar, in order to spare the church premises for terrorist activities.

Earlier, LTTE had positioned its heavy mortar and artillery guns at close range to the church in order to take cover from the civilian refugees at the church, said the sources. However, as the priests and the refugees started to protests against the cowardly tactics of LTTE, the terrorists have ordered the priests to leave the church premises, the sources added.

Meanwhile, the sources citing the reports said that the priests have managed to take the sacred statue of our lady of Madhu with them despite the strong protests of the LTTE terrorists.

The sacred area has been declared a no war zone and the Sri Lankan security forces have spared the area from military offensives.

The army has not shelled the Madu area. The tigers have taken refuge in the Madu church area and are firing shells onto themselves and accusing the army. Onna balanna kotingey ketha waeda! Chikh!

Innocent terrorists are so worried about sacred site.

It seems they become good now.... they didn't see the value of religious places before attacking The Temple of Tooth & Muslim church at Batticaloa.. LOL...
