The LTTE in the face of defeats on the Mannar front continued its hit and run tactics targeting isolated policemen in different parts of the island.
A policeman who was shot at while on duty at the police post at the 38 kilometre post on the Buttala-Kataragama road succumbed to his injuries on admission to the Buttala hospital.
In another incident yesterday in the east around 6.05 a.m. a police commando was injured in Rufuskulam in Kandikudichchiaru. Military suspect that he was shot by an LTTE sniper.
Around 7.45 a.m. yesterday three police constables were injured when a grenade lobbed by a Tiger cadre, exploded at the police post in the Menik Farm area on the Medawachchciya-Mannar road.
Confrontations between the Army and the LTTE continued on the Vavuniya front yesterday. Seven LTTE cadres and two soldiers died in the attacks. Three were injured. According to Brigadier Nanayakkara troops recovered two claymore mines, four detonators, three detonator cords and a 10 metre long wire in a subsequent search operation conducted in Karavipuliyankulam in Vavuniya.
Five LTTE cadres died and 21 injured in fighting in the Welioya front, he said. One soldier died and another was injured.
In Mannar and Muhamalai two soldiers were injured in clashes with the LTTE. Troops recovered 436 Anti Personnel Mines (APM) and 23 booby traps in a search operation while in Periyamadu in the Palampidi area the army recovered 41 APM`s, two boxes of C-4 explosives and an anti tank mine. Palampidi which is 8 km north of Madhu was captured by the troops during the weekend. Tigers have abandoned the area.

Cowards. Hit and run. That is all they can do. If you are brave enough, come and face the brave SLA. |

| LTTE is now doing these things to show that they are still active and to make fear among innocent civilians by bombing civilian busses, killings etc. and those are used to cover loosening of their land loosening of their strength loosening of their morale. Not only singhalese are become victim to this but also innocent Tamils are became victim to this Tamil racism by some groups. It should be note that not all Tamils are not supporting the ltte and most of them realize the true nature of the ltte. As Tamil I'm very shame about ltte, They've destroying the reputation of the tamils have in the world! |

It is pretty obvious that the LTTE cannot face our forces for long in face to face combat. So long as the LTTE is able to face our forces in conventional war, non combatant civillians living all over the country do not have to fear much of hidden attacks. But the moment the LTTE is unable to face conventional combat with our forces they adopt their cowardice tactics and that is when non combatant civillians become the victims.
Unfortunately for the hit and run gurillia attacks of the LTTE and the their trump card the suicide bombers, be it in the north east south or west, the govt has no counter strategy and no army anywhere in the world has a counter strategy.

Since you are in the UK you have nothing to fear of the LTTE hit and run attacks. These fellows with just 5 people in 1976 began their hit and run attacks by killing people and robbing banks which our forces were not able to counter. From that stage the LTTE is today sky bound. Even now if they are reduced to even 5 or less (which I doubt ever happening) they would continue with their hit and run attacks as they did before.
Eventhough the Army Commander says the LTTE and VP will be 'finished off' by the end of this year do you actually profess that it would definitely happen that way? Do you think 100% elimination of the LTTE is possible? This kind of fantastic story was told us many times by many including the person who was promoted from Colnol to General in one go and hailed as the 'Sapumal Kumaraya' who liberated Jaffna. Sapumal Kumaraya is unheard of today but we still hear that VP, though supposedly killed and maimed many times, is still around with the LTTE massacering and maiming whom ever they wish.
As for your query
How long are the Tamil Terrorists going to hit and run
It would be indefnitely. No time frame. The LTTE is hell bent on destabilising everything in the country, economy security day to day life of those living here etc etc and making life hell for all of us living here. People such as you who have abandoned the country will be least affected.
So please cut the crap
Eelam forever Illai....hahahaha..lol...
It may be a laughing matter for all of you not living in Sri Lanka, but for us living here in Sri Lanka it has become a matter of life and death even going to Colombo to eek out a living.

AnuD,
Taking magnum's argument to its logical conclusion: it is in your interest that the ltte remain strong enough to face your SL forces in conventional warfare. |

AnuD,

Hope it happens that way. Nevertheless, saying is easy than practically making it happen. The picture everyone is given by the state propoganda is that the LTTE is on its last legs on the war front. However the weak LTTE has been able to see to it that internationally we are being marginalised and we have obviously not been strong enough to counter that strategy contrary to the assurances given by Rohitha Bogols and Mahinda Sam. That's why I say saying is one thing happening is something else.
The next item will be the GSP+ issue which we will see in October. If we lose out on that it would be a major victory for the LTTE in destabilising our economy. Our getting kicked out from the HRC is going to weigh against us on the GSP+issue.
Anyway do you honestly beleive that the LTTE and VP and terrorism will be a thing of the past come January 2009?
