[ Hundreds of Sea Tiger Boats in Alampil Captured
2008-12-05 12:33:39 MULLAITTIVU: VALIANT 14 Vijayabahu Infantry Regiment (VIR) troops in 59 Division, just a few hours after their entry into ALAMPIL town on Thursday (4) evening were shocked to find a huge LTTE boatyard with a few hundreds of Sea Tiger boats in the yard. Brave troops went on expanding the area amalgamating another 1 km patch of land in the north of ALAMPIL when they came across this boatyard of Sea Tigers, maintained in total secrecy inside a thick coconut grove, about 600 m away from the ALAMPIL sea border. It is believed that Sea Tigers had apparently kept those boats hidden in the area to avoid being observed by Air Force jets when Sea Tiger boats sail there for anchoring. Those boats would have been taken along MULAITTIVU-ALAMPIL main road and other by-roads before they are kept covered. Valuable houses with tiled-floors, used as bunkers, hideouts and for other clandestine operations provide ample evidence over the prosperity civilians have enjoyed before those areas fell to terrorists. Most of the boats sans engines show that terrorists, anticipating their imminent defeat in the face of brave advance of the troops have made all boats defunct and abandoned before fleeing the area. Further search and clear operations are continuing. army.lk ] |
