[[ Troops surround Mullaitivu
By Chris Kamalendran The final thrust of the Government`s military offensive to deny Tiger guerrillas any domination of territory begins next week in their remaining stronghold of Mullaitivu. This follows the Army`s re-capture on Friday of Elephant Pass, described as the gateway to the Jaffna peninsula and thus securing the entirety of the A-9 Kandy-Jaffna highway. Troops are now consolidating their positions along this highway. Thereafter, troop movements and supplies to the peninsula, now sent by sea and air, will be moved by road. The movement of civilian transport services is to follow. Troops have laid siege on Mullativu from all directions. On the north-eastern coast the Navy has placed a tight cordon, a security source told The Sunday Times. Unlike in previous thrusts, the troops are moving with great caution to avoid civilian casualties, the source added. ]] |
