The LTTE yesterday suffered another massive setback as the Task Force I led Brig. Shavendra de Silva marched on the Veditalaivu Sea Tiger base on the North-west coast, severing the outfit`s main sea supply route via South India. The LTTE had been using this base to smuggle in military supplies with the help of its Tamil Nadu based confederates.

Yesterday`s offensive that delivered the well fortified Sea Tiger base to the army had been preceded by a series of commando raids, the army said. The LTTE lost over 30 combatants and the army suffered no casualties.

The remaining LTTE combatants fled towards Iluppaikadawan amidst heavy fire. The army, which advanced one km ahead of Veditalaivu was positioned three kilo metres south of Illuppaikadawan at the time of writing.

The army is now moving towards Pooneryn along the coast to secure the vital A-32 road, an alternative road that leads to Jaffna.

The Air Force provided cover for the ground troops engaged in battle for Veditalaive base.

Mi 24 helicopter gunships were deployed to strafe the gun positions and mortar launchers of the LTTE. Fighter jets destroyed another LTTE base at Vallaipadu.

Mi 24 helicopters pursued a fleet of fleeing Tiger vessels four kilo metres off Vallaipadu in Mannar, destroying two of them and disabling several others. Many LTTE combatants are believed to have been killed in the air raids, the Air Force said.

The latest debacle on the North-West coast, the army says, will aggravate an already bad situation for the LTTE struggling to replenish its supplies. Military Spokesman Brig. Udaya Nanayakkara said the military was now in a position to thwart the LTTE`s smuggling operations effectively from India and worsen its shortage of material.

Brig. Nanayakkara said it was from this base located near a small bay that the LTTE had launched a devastating attack on the vessel Irish Mona in 1995.

Operations on the Mannar front commenced last September.

Veditalaivu Sea Tiger base on the North-west coast did not exist. This is all GOSL propaganda. LTTE is on the verge of liberating Jaffna from Singhala army and declare the Victory for the Tamil Eelam. Tamilnet keep this as an absolute secret. Recently LTTE attacked a Sri Lanka Nay out post successfully , killing a handful of soldiers and that was the key factor in liberating Jaffna and establishing Tamil Eelam.

Trunefare,

There was nothing called liberation of mannar rice bowel. LTTE carders are holding on to their positions in mannar strongly as ever. Sarath Fonseka's army had been beaten back to their FDL and beyond by our brave Eelam liberators under the leadership of our Sun GOD.

Our babies are born to fight and we are not going to deprive them from the noble cause of sacrificing them selves to Peelam.

Sri Lankan armed services have broken the hype created by the media and other agencies that LTTE as professional as Sri Lankan forces.Now so called LTTE navy is in disarray and running away from the theater of war.This shows how media can create absolute hot-air and hype about LTTE navy.

Sacrificing 200,000 is no concern of this govt as none of them are related to the govt ministers.
History repeats..
At the Stage 4 of the Operation, the main task was to capture Viduthalaitivu area. That was June 23, 1999, and troops from 55 Division started to move to Viduthalaitivu and the 53 Division to Periyamadu.

After days of fierce battles, the troops were able to enter the Viduthalathivu area on June 26, 1999 destroying the LTTE forward defence lines. But at that time some hundreds of soldiers sacrificed their lives and a large number were also injured. But the troops were unable to capture the Viduthalathivu town and the sea base.

Trunefare,

Singhala army can't beat us. Our Sun God Schizo Prabha had launched a 25 year program to produce carders for our Tamil cause. In his fortified bunker, three times a week he masturbates religiously to donate his sperms which are artificially inseminated to female carders in bunkers. The CFA had given an immense opportunity for them to produce thousands of kids over a 4 year period. Of course that program had to be abandoned due to Rajapakse's selfish actions. The kids are are still young to fight but the oldest could hold a gun at age seven in 3 years time. The kids look normal right now but will acquire schizophrenic psychopathy as they grow older. We will be much more stronger with the Psychopathic genes inherited from our Sun God Schizo Prabha than those who were recruited from our ordinary poor Tamil families .

If you think that your Singhala media can stop our Tamil schizophrenia you are just naive.

This is one of the most difficult areas to be fight. Poonaryn has been controlled by LTTE for a long period and many occation SLN was defeated by LTTE in this area. SLA must not quick enough to march forward even if there is no resistant from LTTE. They may allow SLA to advance first and trap in side their territory. I suppose SLN has more experience in this segmant and therefore Navy petrolmen branch can help SLA to fight in this stretch.
