Fighting erupts south of Puthukkudiyiruppu

Heavy fighting erupted between the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) when a group of LTTE fighters tried to breach the 59 division forward defence line (FDL) yesterday (1st) morning. 18 SLA soldiers have been killed and around 50 more have been injured in the fighting. Two main battle tanks (MBT) and a tractor transporting supplies to the front line have also been damaged. SLA units have recovered around 15 dead bodies of LTTE cadres. Sporadic clashes are still continuing in the area.

Meanwhile 58 division units yesterday recovered a large quantity of arms and ammunition from an LTTE base located east of Puliyampokkanal. Among the recovered weapons were three 120mm heavy mortars – a weapon with a 7km-10km effective range.

  2. Not just the tamil LTTE supporters, but also the western politicians, Keith Vaz, Simon Hughes, et al, who have no doubt have their pockets lined with Diaspora ill-gotten gains and who beg for tamil votes in their constituencies are like...

    vedi karpu ooro.

    HE the President, sir, do not give in to international pressure. Please carry this out to the end. This is the least we could do for each soldier who laid down their lives. We want them honoured for their selfless bravery.

  3. Thanks for the update DN.

    Pakka-Lanka is right. Terrorists are like "Vedi Kapu Ooro" now.

    However they may have asked for a bigger trouble by attacking troops. I wont be surprice if Puthu now fall to SLA during next 24 hours to finish the game.

    DN-
    DW is reporting a plane land in Visuamadu area. Do you have any details where it's took off from :) because DW failed to reveal it.

  5. Dear President / Commander of the SL Army,

    Let me second what Pakka-Lanka has said in his post as below.

    PLEASE DO NOT GIVE IN TO INTERNATIONAL PRESSURES.

  6. SLA Generals were well educated by the LTTE regarding asymetric warfare. The generals are grateful. Just to prove it, they are now teaching a thing or two back to the LTTE as a token of their gratitude.

    Incidentally they have become lessons the LTTE would never forget!

    OU&N!

  14. Certainly paintball guns have been used for combat training (I love paintball).

    However, the Army have found another unused 8 Thermobarric weapons too.

    What puzzles me is why LTTE left their prized possessions -the Thermobarric weapons behind?

    Perhaps the In-charge of the weapons got killed and the others did not have the knowledge of those prized possessions.

  15. How to sponsor the education of a child of a fallen/disabled soldier

    1. You can now easily sponsor a child of a fallen/disabled soldier through the sevavaitha scholorship program

    2. Your contribution will directly go into the child's account (It does not go into a fund and there are no involement of 3rd parties)

    3. Stipulated monthly amount is US$10 (Rs750-1000). You can contribute more if you like.

    4. Duration of the scholorship can be decided by you. It can be 1 year or more.

    5. Sevavanitha will provide you with the child's details along with contact info. You can contact the family directly and verify all the details yourself before depositing funds. Process is very transparent.

    Please email me at hareen_m@yahoo.com for the application form and a detailed description of the process.

  22. Troops capture Prabakaran's main hideout: Terrorist to face inevitable defeat - Mullaittivu

    Sri Lankan Army troops of the 11th Light Infantry (SLLI) under the 58 Division led by Brigadier Shavendra Silva have captured a main LTTE hideout, what is believed to be a major residential site of the terror leader Prabakaran.

    The two storied underground built residential complex was located in a two acre coconut cultivated land which was well fortified, provided with all-round protection from adjacent gun positions and bunker locations. The entire area was brought under security forces control following heavy fighting that ensued between troops and LTTE since early this morning (Feb 2). At least 20 LTTE terrorists were killed during the confrontation that lasted for hours the sources further said.

    According to ground sources, the underground bunker runs 50ft deep, protected with a 3ft thick layer of concrete. The air force had bombed this location previously, which is in the center of cadjan houses 500m west of the Paranthan - Mullaititvu main road in general area Piramanthalkulama. The underground bunker was fully air conditioned which consisted of four furnished compartments and tiled floors, the sources said adding that surveillance cameras were also fitted at the entrance of the bunker complex.

    During further search operations conducted, troops have also found an oxygen plant inside a luxury compartment believed to be Prabakanran's room along with a M-16(new version) machine gun and an insulin container. Troops had also located a deep-freezer inside the compartment. "Four guard points were found located adjacent to the compartment which were manned by Prabakaran's personal bodyguards", a military official said. Three sound proof power generators were used to supply electricity to the residential site and the adjacent bunkers, the sources further said.

  27. patriots,

    LTTE BULLSHIT about attacks on hospitals is revealed!!

    bingo!

    take out a microscope and get ready.
    take a look at these pics that toiletnet uses to allege we shell hospitals.

    can you see a SINGLE spot IN and AROUND the hospital damaged/scratched/discoulered/burnt or otherwise bearing signs of an attack????

    NO!!NO!!NO!!NO!!

    NO damage whatsoever - proof #1

    NO damage whatsoever - proof #2

    NO damage whatsoever - proof #3

    who gives these proof?? not me! tamilnet; tigers themselves!

    they can prove it wrong but i bet they don't have ANY evidence.

    where are the damaged hospitals??? where, O where??

    no IDIOT can prove me wrong. tamilnet, prove me wrong if you CAN.

    we MUST take puthukkudiyiruppu (PTK) and udaiyaarkaddu hospitals. but there is no need to attack them to take them over! those are 2 different unrelated things. we tookover many hospitals without necessarily attacking them. this is yet another such event.

    therefore SLA should be TOTALLY undeterred and CONTINUE to do what they have been doing (PLUS newer methods to bring peace).

    ‘I just have an idea why don’t we take any finger prints of these places…then we can prove whether VP is alive or dead or otherwise’

    I too was going to suggest this. We should have taken any fingerprints left behind by VP.They should find out any sign of damage to this area by Tsunami.
    It would be clever of them to fake VP to keep the Diaspora interest going as they need a figurehead. RAW has copies of his finger prints.
    It the tsunami had hit this area there’s no way he would have survived. But there’s credible evidence of people seeing him but the signature of his voice is a bit doubtful but it could be due to distortion caused by transmission.
    That 200 foot tower is of significance, perhaps they may have linked their communications to the Indian N/W in addition to the sat phones or to communicate within their areas of control.

  29. Guys,

    Prabha's bunker stirs up three distinct scenarios,in my opinion:

    1) It could be a deliberate attempt to mislead the army by leaving behind a few memorabilia to give the impression that he just left the place; one of the photographs in the bunker can be seen here

    2) He may have been in an advanced stage of acute diabetes, may be even not fully conscious, due to stress; the medical kit takes us in that direction. May be those who looked after him were only interested in taking him to a safer place as soon as possible, without caring much about his legacy; if it was the case, the loayalty to the leader must be at an all-time low; otherwise they would have ransacked the place beyond recognition.

    3) The determination of Tigers to hold on to Puthukudurippu hospital implies he may be in the hospital after running out of options.

    Body double is a mystery though. If it was true, they left behind it in haste. That is good news then. His options are disappearing fast.

    Most of the folks trust their instincts and they are right. The Big Beast is still there. Whether he is sane enough to swallow cyanide is yet to be seen. I doubt it, though.

    In this context, the agitations all over have a solid reason behind all that - rescue the man at the eleventh hour. Omens don't look for the beast.

    After two weeks in the White House, uncle Barack is starting to loose his shine somewhat. Very scarily, he's starting to look like what John McCain and hillary clinton called him earlier; an amatuer, who will not know what to do. Things are falling apart here in the USA and there is no visible solution anywhere. If Barack doesn't prove to be the solution within the next 90 days, he'll become a big part of a much bigger problem.

    And he'll probably blame it on everyone else.

  62. Hi all,

    we are the team of the "lankanews" aka "lkwebnews".

    As a lot of pepole know www.youtube.com/lkwebnews which is now suspended was updated by us.

    On 3 rd of february youtube has blocked 4 of our videos informing they got a third-party notification by "rubavakiny televison limited(govt)" claiming that those videos are infringing.

    As Vajira mentioned in comments (in DW), It seems like Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation has not decided to take such a action.

    Now who the heck is "rubavakiny televison limited(govt)" ?

    Is it Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation?

    We had several discussions with youtube copyright team via email and they say we have to submit a DMCA Counter notice to them to verify the owner of the videos.

    more details about DCMA counter notice,
    http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=59826

    As we are not the owners of those videos we cannot send a DCMA counter notice to Youtube copyright team.

    Only Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation can do that.

    If "rubavakiny televison limited(govt)" is same as the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation, They will do not act.

    But we strongly feel "rubavakiny televison limited(govt)" is an impersonator who pretend as Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation.

    If so this "rubavakiny televison limited(govt)" will be a threat for all youtube videos which are originally owned by Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation.

    our request is if anyone here who has direct contact with high ranking officers in Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation,
    please inform this impersonator action and ask them to file a DMCA counter notice.

    Otherwise they will also loose their ownership of their own videos.

    If "rubavakiny televison limited(govt)" is same as the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation then we would like to say something regarding our Channel.
    that is,

    we uploaded your videos to youtube as a tribute to our security forces, as an appriciation for the reporters at the battlefield (Such as Rama , Amal Samantha) and finally as a fresh news source. We expected nothing other than the above goals.

    It is easy to close down lkwebnews channel for us because it will save our time and other commitments we had for the lkwebnews channel.

    but thousands of people everyday watched lkwebnews and they shared their feelings , gratitude for our war heroes.

    Finally we have to say something about the traffic of our channel got.

    believe or not the second most traffic generator for our youtube channel was a Tamil language Website.

    Thank you.
