At least 9 people have been injured in an explosion that took place in Colombo Fort area a short while ago. The explosion has occurred in front of a hotel near Gasworks Junction (Gaspaha handiya). The injured have been admitted to Colombo national hospital.
It was a minor explosion and may have been caused by a hand grenade.
Any idea what type of device and if any one or place/convoy was targeted?
ReplyDeletenemesis it looks like a grenade blast.
ReplyDeleteThanks DN. Could have been a gang wipe or one on one..
ReplyDeleteA minor explosion in Colombo injured nine people this evening (Sept. 08th), police and hospital sources said.
ReplyDeleteThe victims, all men and two in critical condition, are receiving treatment at Colombo National Hospital, said its director Dr. Hector Weerasinghe.

Perhaps this is the work of the underworld gang working for the tiger terrorists, will have no impact on the ongoing offensives.

ReplyDelete//SLAF increases air attacks as tigers dig in to fight.//-DN
ReplyDelete//Up to now the LTTE has carried out six aerial missions against 6,000 by the SLAF.// -GR (defence.lk)
// Meanwhile the Army's Intelligence units have stressed the importance of greater accuracy in the bombing runs by jet bombers from Number 10 Squadron. They point out that each target missed in an inaccurate bombing run humiliates them before their informants. However, the Attack Helicopter Squadron operating out of Polonnaruwa is doing a yeoman service.//-DW
The first TAF raid was at the end of March 2007 and there are around 500 days from then to end of August 2008. Thus 6000 air missions within that period means around 12 air missions per day. I think this means 12 raids (bombs?) per day. Am I right?
Now any organization reveiws periodically any thing they do continuously. Every private company do this and may be government sector don't do it. This is such a simple common sense thing but it is impoertent.
So out of these 6000 attacks did SLAF acheive intended results? If just 1 tiger is dead each attack then 6000 dead now and if 5 tigers dead each attack 30,000 dead now, which is the estimated maximum LTTE strenth. If you think say 50% of attacks were targeted logistics, not the cadres, still 15,000 is dead. can this be true?
Further, what did SLAF do until LTTE build 25m long trench. Now DW says LTTE is doing the same in Mulathiv front. So SLA know the location where activity is going on why SLAF can't desroy thier resources when its in use?
Air support is vital factor increasing moral of troops. But given the cost incurred by SLAF it is very importent assess their perfomance and take corrective actions if thier actions are not affective or change or develop the stratergies and methods. Otherwise this will be "gangata ini kapeema".
My Way or No Way
ReplyDeleteBy Vellupillai Prabhakaran (with apologies to Frank Sinatra)
And now the end is near, and so I face the final curtain,
My friends, I'll say it clear,
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain.
I've lived a life that's full of horrors; I've killed kids, and
blown up mothers,
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Regrets I have a few, but then again, too many to mention,
Just because I regret, don't mean I accept blame, aint no exceptions,
I planned each atrocity,
Each careful bombing, along the by-way.
And more, much more than this, I did it my way.
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew,
When I bit off more than I should chew,
But thru' it all, when there was doubt,
I ate and ate, and became quite stout
I hid underground, and curled up small, in my little hide-away.
I've killed, I've doped and pillaged, I've had my fill,
My share of losing, and now, as tears subside,
I find it all so terrifying.
To think I did all that, and may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh no not me, I did it my way.
Now they are closing in, what have I got,
Deluded diaspora, are they happy, no they're not
Guided bombs, MBRLS, a dreaded rain of steel,
They keep coming down, although I kneel.
The record shows, I'm taking blows, up & down the A-9 highway
…. I did it my way….

ReplyDeleteFisrt of all it is not related to defence you and me are interested in though they use wording of 'kalathuwakku' etc.
In our universities (in arts faculties or social sceince department) they teach even now some thing toaught few decades back in forign universities. In other words our sylabus is not updated or out dated. Leecturers just teach what they were tought.
But there is new 'knowledge' now tought in some forign universities. Some people have read such books in English and translated into sinhala using their own fancy words and write books, nagazines and do these kind of seminars. These people were not regarded as "standard scholers" by the so called "accepted asholers" or socaity, despite some of them in the group are university lecturers.
Their theory is basicaly based on so called 'past modernism' and seems closely relates to feminism too. This group was subjected to many division but seems yet operational. I see them as kind of 'alternative' veiwers or acedemic rebels.
Sri Lanka rebels launch air raid on northern front
ReplyDelete08 Sep 2008 23:36:43 GMT
Source: Reuters
COLOMBO, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's Tamil Tiger rebels bombed a government-controlled town at the rear of the frontline using a light aircraft, military sources said on Tuesday.
"Three aircraft were seen on radar. One was over Vavuniya and dropped a bomb and went back. There was also an artillery attack into Vavuniya," said a military official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Two other military officials confirmed the strike. (Editing by Alex Richardson)

I hope my Sinhala brothers/sisters would encourage Sinhala racists to see reality and stop being so backwards and racist.
There is no room for backwards thinking in this modern age. Let us all move forward. No need for more deaths.
There are also news circulating in low level staff at the assembly on frequent discussions mister MR is having with older retired military men. Seeking advice? or planning a retreat?

Sharp the LTTE racist terrorists,
ReplyDeleteUnder you bravado and bogus concerns for Sri Lankans, you are nothing more than a racist terrorist. You are mere nothing. Your rightful place is the histories unmarked graves reserved for faceless terrorist. You, along with other LTTE terrorists, will be brought to justice in Sri Lanka. Please act knowing where you will end up. Alternatively, you can give up your terrorist habits and surrender to the nearest SLDF camp. Hopefully, you will have a better time after initial salad tossing in the prison if you surrender. Otherwise, please continue with your subhuman behavior until you meet Tamil Selvam, Nagulan, Balaraj, etc and Vezapillai in your fantasyland Eeelam.

ReplyDelete//Vanni SF HQ attacked
[TamilNet, Tuesday, 09 September 2008, 00:53 GMT]
The joint headquarters of the Sri Lankan forces in Vanni, situated in Vavuniyaa town, came under attack for more than 2 hours by the Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) in the early hours of Tuesday, according to initial reports from the town. There were at least 11 explosions that rocked the town and heavy exchange of gunfire was reported for more than two hours, till 5:00 a.m. Meanwhile, there were also reports of LTTE's aircrafts engaged in the mission over Vavunyaa in the early hours, around 2:30 a.m.
One civilian, a girl, was wounded and rushed to hospital.
In the meantime, the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) bombers and surveillance aircrafts, stepped up their activity over Ki'linochchi and Mullaiththeevu districts from 4:00 a.m.
The Sri Lankan military officials in Colombo claimed that their forces counter-attacked the Tiger aircraft, but their was no indication of any aircraft coming down in Vavuniyaa, sources in the town said.
The explosions could have been caused by Tiger artillery that targeted the Sri Lankan headquarters, the sources further added. //
It seems the nut is not impressive or thrilled this time.

If it was shot down in Mulathiv skies even I who passed grade 11can say it will not fell down to Vavnia.

Howcome give videos when SLAF didn't shot down any TAF tincan? May be you can get one from video center in Wellawaththa.
Finally the LTTE gets the return! Isn't this what we've been looking for?

If missile armed SLAF jets intercepted two piston engines aircraft, they could've easily shot them both down.
ReplyDeleteSpecially the Mig21s (F7 versions) we possess are vastly more manueverable and have the ability to turn on a dime and kill the tincans with ease.
In the absence of concrete evidence, the claim to have shot down one only by the SLAF will be seen as a desperate con by the majority.
i hope slaf gets a uav out there immediately to locate the wreckage and confirm the kill. if possible send mi-24 and bomb the crap out of tigers trying to salvage anything.

ReplyDelete"while running away following a failed mission"
- What professional language use. I beleive it now. They must have shot down the airplane over MT leaving zero traces since it disintegrated.
"Then the fighter jets launched from Katunayaka airbase, have intercepted the terror aircraft and destroyed one of them, he added.È
- Two slow flying AC, and two supersonic jets can only hunt down one of them.. what..
