Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) officials in Ki`linochchi said the Tigers have located more than 30 dead bodies of the SLA soldiers in the clearing mission so far in the Northern Front after a major operation by the SLA was thwarted by them. 19 dead bodies were brought to Ki`linochchi. Meanwhile, a Sri Lanka Army (SLA) source, which didn`t wish to be named, verified that 104 dead bodies were initially recovered by the army and more than 400 were wounded. The source further said at least 150 soldiers were killed in action. In the meantime, a Colombo bound passenger said he had seen 12 bus loads of dead and wounded soldiers being rushed to the runway in Palaali military complex.
Most of the wounded were airlifted to Colombo general hospital.
According to the official figures released by the SLA, 38 soldiers were killed and 84 injured.
The SLA units were defeated at two of the three fronts, in Mukamaalai and Ki`laali, by 10:30 a.m. after stiff resistance. Heavy fighting raged till 12:40 p.m. in Ka`ndal.
The LTTE is yet to release casualty details.
LTTE officials in Ki`linochchi provided details of 14 identification tags/details belonging to dead SLA soldiers, handed over to them by Tiger commanders in Northern Front.

| This will go down as another contradicting set of casualty figures released by both parties and of course the world will never know the truth as usual. |

| The fog of war still prevails. We cannot at this moment decide whether the SLA offensive at Muhamalai has broken through or not. |

No need to wait for information. Tamilnet put one hand phone number of MIA. Just call that number and get more information. |

However, a military source told AFP that the security force casualties were 40 dead and 375 wounded, while several more were missing.
Defence sources said Wednesday's setback was a repeat of the October 2006 debacle when the security forces were pushed back by a major counter offensive of the Tigers, with 129 government soldiers killed and 515 wounded.
