Dozens of weapons storage sites have been captured by the military. These include boats that provided floating ammo dumps (some holding up to a thousand tons of munitions and supplies), able to move along the north coast to where they were needed. But the air force and navy have figured out how to spot these, and long range army patrols have found ammo dumps and camps deep inside enemy controlled territory. GPS enables the patrolling soldiers to accurately capture target locations, so the air force can quickly and accurately strike. <BR/>....So far this month, the government believes it has killed nearly 700 LTTE fighters, while losing less than forty soldiers. About a hundred civilians have died as well. Dozens of LTTE bunkers have been captured and troops have advanced over 20 kilometers in places. The army believes it is on a roll, and is planning to keep this up. Thus, in six months, taking down an average of 500 LTTE fighters a month, they would break the military power of the rebels. This is causing political problems, because many senior politicians do not favor a military solution.

The area is heavily mined. There are about 800m to the Adampan town center from current SLA positions and SLA wont rush it with the minefields and IEDs to avoid casualties.DefenceNethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11553575476849786179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-10990760501211307972008-01-27T15:25:00.000+05:302008-01-27T15:25:00.000+05:30GOSL must act soon to stop NGO’s LTTE helping acti...GOSL must act soon to stop NGO’s LTTE helping activities in North and NGO’s must be charged if they do any wrong doing...<BR/>see the link<BR/>http://www.nationalsecurity.lk/fullnews.php?id=10306lankaputhrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214791600117783873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-48338772097049294542008-01-27T15:02:00.000+05:302008-01-27T15:02:00.000+05:30guy called shyam talked about transporting kafir t...guy called shyam talked about transporting kafir to colombo habour to send for the repairs..<BR/><BR/>yes there is little truth in it.<BR/><BR/>Those are not kafir's.

I was one of them. However, he must be credited as the only recent leader who did not conduct the war with political goals in sight. This is something, even his political enemies admit - quite reluctantly of course.<BR/><BR/>We shouldn't underestimate the way he defied odds, when the LTTE was known to be invincible: he stood up to the international community; all our past leaders buckled under pressure; he handled India very well in extremely difficult circumstances; he was fearless and showed the masses he was there to look up to; above all, he made lots of pundits, both local and international, eat their words, when it came to their political forecast.<BR/><BR/>Leaders, like great thinkers, are <B>born</B> not <B>made.</B> There are a lot of Sri Lankans who are not SLFP supporters; but they all admire this man for his handling of this war that tortured us for well over 30 years and humiliated as a nation for generations to come.<BR/><BR/>Once the LTTE has been dealth with, he must wage war on corruption and inefficiency front too. If he fails on that front, forgivenss of masses will be in short supply for a great leader like him too.<BR/><BR/>I think he may have read about Churchill; he won the war and then lost the election. It sums up my whole point.Vivaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389611860445104274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-6132780453989570452008-01-27T10:44:00.000+05:302008-01-27T10:44:00.000+05:30correction "The AK viriant "should be The AK varia...correction <BR/><BR/>"The AK viriant "<BR/>should be The AK variant"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777902112139093143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-3975063994077253182008-01-27T10:35:00.000+05:302008-01-27T10:35:00.000+05:30Athas makes an errorlink: http://www.sundaytimes.l...Athas makes an error<BR/><BR/>link: http://www.sundaytimes.lk/080127/Columns/sitreport.html <BR/><BR/>Under VPs picture he says <BR/><BR/>"In this super-imposed photo, Prabhakaran holds an assault rifle.
