They tried a four Pronged attack simultaneously thinking that at least one way will open up !
Sadly this is not to their thinking ! [Black Tuesday` for Army: Nearly 650 casualties in North The Sri Lankan forces have suffered major losses at the hands of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) on a single day of fighting in the North. Tuesday December 16th turned out to be a Black Tuesday for the armed forces as they incurred around 650 casualties in fighting against the LTTE in both the Northern mainland of Wanni as well as the Jaffna peninsula. Tuesday is the day of Mars regarded as the God of war in Greek mythology. According to informed defence ministry sources who want to remainin anonymous for obvious reasons , about 170 soldiers were killed and 480 security personnel were injured. The sources however said about 300 of injured personnel had sustained minor injuries and are classified as walking wounded . Official pronouncements have placed army casualties at a very low number not exceeding three digits. Likewise the official government position was that about 120 tigers were killed and 250 injured. The LTTE however reportedly lost around 70 cadres. The figures for injury are not known. ] |
