Top LTTE leader Bhanu was seriously injured in Udayarkattu, Mullaitivbu, military sources said.

`Bhanu who was in charge of the artillery and mortar units of the LTTE, had been fleeing for safety from the advancing army.

This had caused a severe dent in the fighting capability of the Tigers.

It was only last week that LTTE leader Prabhakaran s advisor Balakumar suffered serious injuries in a confrontation with the troops in the same area.

`Balakumar, is undergoing treatment in a hospital in Mullaitivu jungles and his condition is critical,` the sources said.

Bhanu and another Tiger leader Deepan had been leading attacks on the troops during the past few days in this area.

Bhanu s sister, living in France, has informed the LTTE members in France that her brother was critically injured.

He was one of the key LTTE members responsible for capturing the Elephant Pass in 2000. Others who led the LTTE onslaught were Karuna,Balaraj and Deepan and today only Baunu and Deepan remain with the Tigers.

Bhanu, a close confidant of Prabhakaran, joined the LTTE in 1994 and underwent training in India and a few other countries.

He has been responsible for a number of major attacks launched by the Tigers against the security forces sources said.

All injured should be treated irrespective of political beliefs, cast, creed, or race!

U must be joking..They don't even bother to treat injured Civilians what ru asking here..!

Kantharubi Sivanathan, 28, mother-of-two, Paranthan

On the night of 9 January my family was among a group of 58 people trying to cross over to army-controlled area.

We came into army-controlled areas for safety but I have lost my husband
It was night-time when we were going and I think that we ran into some army people who were lying there. Suddenly there were reports of gun fire and suddenly we all fell down.

A bullet hit my husband and he was instantly killed.

Everyone was crying and shouting. After half an hour, the soldiers came to help us and they took us and the injured and the dead bodies to Kilinochchi hospital and from there we were taken to the IDP camp.

I escaped without any injuries but I lost my husband. We came into army-controlled areas for safety but I have lost my husband. I don't know what I am going to do with my two small children.

I don't know what is going to happen to my family in the future. I am all alone without my husband. As it was too dark I don't know who fired the shots but the army helped us.

Nothing would have happened to Bhanu if he stayed in Velu's bunker under the luxurious house in Visuamadu!
