[Sri Lankan Army Says Troops Capture Tamil Tiger Satellite Base
By Ed Johnson July 28 (Bloomberg) -- Sri Lankan troops captured a Tamil Tiger satellite base in the country`s north and seriously wounded a rebel commander in separate fighting, the Defense Ministry said. Soldiers secured the Sugandan base north of Kiriibbanwewa in the jungles of Mullaittiuvu yesterday following days of ``heavy confrontations`` with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eeelam, the ministry said on its Web site. An LTTE area leader, identified as Veandan, was wounded during a failed rebel offensive north of Janakapura, according to the statement. The LTTE didn`t immediately comment on the incidents on its Web site. Sri Lanka`s army is driving LTTE forces from camps in the north after capturing the eastern region a year ago in the worst defeat for the rebels in their 25-year fight for a separate homeland. The insurgency has killed more than 70,000 people. The LTTE, which is designated a terrorist organization by India, the U.S. and the European Union, has declared a 10-day cease-fire to coincide with a summit meeting of South Asian leaders in Colombo later this week. ] |
