Has not the LTTE protected the tamil civilians from the clutches of GOSL ?


No they still die like rats , some get it from LTTP, some from the crossfire.

DO you know why there are no big blasts in Colombo ?


there are , civilians got killed in 20, 40 numbers

Since you stopped the DPU attacks in NOrth, there are no bombs in SOuth.

LOL , there are such thing as SLA DPU , its a myth.

That way tigers are protecting tamils from getting killed from your Barbaric men.

Did they save Kadiragamer ? Jeyaraj ? Doreappa ? Rajan Sathiyamoorthy, and read a short list of more of them

IT seems like there is a fight between Pillaiyan & Karuna.

Pillaiyan will join with Prabha to take on Karuna & GOSL !

So much so for the East liberation for last two years !

lol !

Sri Lanka's top security officials discussed preventing a rebel resurgence in Eastern Province, a year after driving them from the region, as the military blamed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam for a bombing in Batticaloa.

The army must take ''all necessary preventative measures'' to avoid renewed ''LTTE threats or violent acts,'' the Defense Ministry said in a statement yesterday after the meeting at Security Force Headquarters East in Minneriya.

Three civilians and three police officers were wounded when the LTTE detonated a claymore mine outside the Eravur Railway Station in Batticaloa yesterday, the ministry said on its Web site. Police were patrolling the area when the bomb attached to a bicycle exploded.

By Col. R. Hariharan (Retd.)

Years back when I was a young officer in the Regiment of Artillery, our regiment moved from New Mal in Eastern India to Deolali in Western India. On the day of our departure we trooped into the railway station with our trucks, baggage, stores and all the men at 6 am in the morning. Our special train was scheduled to leave at 11 am. We sweated in the heat in the roofless station but the train earmarked for us was nowhere in sight. The hapless station master could do nothing. Around one pm we were informed the train would be placed by 5 pm. It came at 7 pm and we were kept busy loading it for the next three hours because we were told the train would leave by 10 pm. But it did not even when the clock struck twelve.

I was the train duty officer and ran around trying to find the railway staff that had vanished. Around 12 midnight I collared the station master in his house. The train is ready for a long time to leave, sir, he said. I was furious then why doesn t it leave, I thundered brimming with military efficiency. He walked over to the station and told me, sir, train is there, but power has not come. My uni-polar military brain could not understand the term power . What power do you mean? I asked. He said sir, you call it the engine, we call it power - the one that pulls the coaches, that has not arrived. By the time power came, a new dawn was on the horizon and we reached our destination two days late.

That small real life experience comes to mind when we look at the current military situation in the Eelam War-4. The military developments are in some order, just as political developments are in disorder.

Sri Lanka security forces made the strategic link up in the north between 57 and 58 divisions, capturing a large chunk of the territory between A32 Mannar-Pooneryn highway front and the A9 Kandy-Jaffna highway. It is no mean achievement for any army, considering that this was achieved in three weeks time, after a few bloody battles and loss of quite a few human lives. For the Sri Lankan army it is a creditable achievement showing how a learning army can overcome its own past shortcomings and reach new levels of operational efficiency. The strategic link up, if held, could block the free transportation of LTTE supplies smuggled from India arriving at the Mannar coast either eastwards or northwards movement along the A32 highway. It also provides launching pads for Sri Lankan offensives to wrest Vidathaltivu and later Pooneryn.

And the army should be able to hold on to the gains, considering that two divisions plus the newly raised 61 Division are there to defend. It is doubtful whether the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) still retain the capability to launch a sizeable conventional strike to dislodge the army from their gains. The arithmetic of force levels is against the LTTE and probably it would rather reinforce its Wanni defences and safeguard the line Pooneryn-Elephant Pass-Kilinochchi- Puthukudiyiruppu than deplete its forces in launching a counterattack.

Sri Lanka Army Commander Lt Gen Sarath Fonseka vocalised the recent achievements of the security forces while speaking to foreign correspondents recently. The LTTE has lost the capability of fighting as a conventional army. Although they are (still) fighting us, they (are) not in the same manner as was in the past. That type of resistance is not there anymore.

Does that mean the final military victory over the LTTE is around the corner? The Army Commander was more realistic. He said that though the LTTE's fighting capabilities was badly weakened, it would take another one year or so to completely defeat them militarily. He summed up the assessment saying, I am sure the LTTE will totally lose even their present capability in less than one year. Then they will resort to a totally different type of tactic So what the LTTE has lost is its proactive conventional operational capability. And that is undoubtedly a plus point for the security forces because they have the military initiative in the war from now onwards.

Good answer marksman.
Rasak,

You are correct too. But Chennaiguy, sees everything opposite so he think tamil people are escaped and going towards LTTE so LTTE will save them. I wonder whether they do that also in the middle of the night to children. I think LTTE abducts tamil children in the middle of the night forcefully so they are safer than their parents. :) :) :)

Pera !

MI penetrated the TOSSI. Abducted the Bombers and warned the people

Yesterday also DPU attacked in Vanni,


DPU attacks now only in small scale. While tigers DPU are taking out in east, it is matching.
Wait till there is a big attack on civilians by DPU in North.

All these men died when under the Protection of GOSL.

SO you have to find out how they died in a court.

U are not a JUDGE to pronounce judgements as to who killed them.

Hahaha! Chennaiguy,

Is there a better judge we can find to punish that during the last election LTTE cut a tamil person's hand when he tried to vote? :) :) :) Is there a better judge to question from LTTE and bring them to justice to see why LTTE blast bus bombs when they specifically talled that they target only government officials? :) :) :)
