Six naval personnel were killed and 24 others injured in an air raid by the LTTE on the Trincomalee Naval Base last night (August 26th), defence sources said.

Meanwhile, the Defence Ministry website, citing Navy sources, said the navy base was warned by the Air Force of an approaching Air Tiger aircraft around 9.00 pm.

LNP members,
Tigers exposed our weakness once again regardless the success or failure of the latest TAF stunt.

Tigers had used surprise and the low tech of our air defence system to carry out this bombing, probably adding the sense of security felt by some of the SADF within the camp.

Yes if we go through some common lines we should be ASHAMED. But I'm happy that no one got killed from SLN. A life worths more than PRIDE.

Yes it is a big stunt for TAF, no doubt about that. Giving some headache to military planners in the South and giving some morale boost for the diaspora.

But could they achieve a significant victory there? I don't think so.

Will TN politicians be able to convince India to put some extra pressure to GOSL to halt current military operations on the base of HR violations after this?

The chances seem to be very low. GOSL can use this to shout out to every one telling LTTE has to be wiped out, and it will be done without much objection.

LTTE achieved some short lived victory with this attack, gave some areas to think to the military planners and GOSL. But on the long run what will they achieve with this attack? Will the current military operation stop, no. Will youth stop joining SLDF, I don't think so.

But this is clearly a sign to SLDF that we can't take anything light in this war. LTTE seems hurt badly, but they are not dead. Tough times will be ahead for both LTTE and SLDF, added TN politicians who try to convince something to Indian government and even Obama.

23.6 Harbhajan Singh to Jayawardene, OUT, Suicidal single and Mahela the big fish is gone. It was again turned to short fine leg and this time they decided to go for the single. Kohli's throw came in one bounce to Harbhajan who broke the stumps. Mahela was far away. 106 for 4 and stuttering now.

DPMD Jayawardene run out 16 (40b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00

No.. don't be scared.
Pillayan and his thugs will handle this in the most humanitarian way. They are a very kind bunch of guys.
