There has been an increase in terrorist type attacks in the north, and the LTTE is apparently trying to goad the army and police into attacking the Tamil population around the capital and elsewhere on the island, to make these Tamils more willing to support LTTE terrorist operations. This shift to an emphasis on terrorist operations indicates that the LTTE is unsure of its ability to hang on in the north. <BR/> <BR/><BR/>July 12, 2007: The government declared the LTTE defeated in the eastern part of the island country. The armed forces would now move most of their forces north, to take on the main LTTE force. This was a big boost for morale in the military, which had suffered many major defeats while fighting the LTTE in the past. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>July 11, 2007: In the east, the last major LTTE base was captured. The LTTE said it would continue waging a guerilla war in the east. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>July 10, 2007: In Australia, the LTTE's top fund raiser was arrested and accused of fraud, and belonging to a terrorist organization. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>July 9, 2007: In the east, troops continued clearing out the last major concentration of LTTE fighters, hunting for about 200 of them believed to be in the area of Thoppigala. Nearly 500 LTTE fighters have been killed in the east in the last five months. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>July 8, 2007: Off the north coast, the navy intercepted a group of LTTE boats, and drove them off. Three navy boats were damaged, and at least two LTTE rebels were killed. On land in the north, fighting continued outside Trincomalee.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>July 7, 2007: In the east, at least twenty were killed (12 LTTE and eight soldiers) as troops advanced on the last major LTTE base in the east. In the north, troops fought the LTTE outside the major port of Trincomalee, killing three rebels. <BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>July 6, 2007: Troops advanced in the east, closing in on the last major LTTE base in the area. Air force jets bombed known LTTE locations.tangarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07225991509353724974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-83888239785825007672007-07-14T02:57:00.000+05:302007-07-14T02:57:00.000+05:30The international media gave a vast publicity to T...The international media gave a vast publicity to Thamil Selvan ; "Our targets would be in the future major military and economic structures of the government of Sri Lanka". This means like, the tigers did nothing so far to attack our economic and military targets and now only they are going to do that just becuz they lost the east. This is justifying future terror attacks in advance. This is clever pshycological/propaganda operation. Our "spoksmen" need to learn from tigers how to answer to the media.<BR/>_________________________________________<BR/><BR/>If the SLA commanders are going to answer UNP's and Kiriella's questions they will not have time to fight a war. Since the war is the only thing present government doing right it's the only thing UNP wants to go bad to claim power for next election. (People are still happy about the government thanks to the military victories, despite the COL.) So the UNP needs the moral of SLA go down, military defetas, bombs in Colombo etc. But I believe the moral of our soldiers is some thing not going down by some thing like the mouth of Kiriella. Even if SLA gets Kilinochchi and heavy whepons Sripathi and Kiriella will say this is a jungle, this is by a secret pact, this is by giving money to tigers etc.<BR/><BR/>__________________________________________<BR/><BR/>BTW, Anyone knows what kind of stuff is that tamilnet shows as parts of Kfirs. IF they are really the parts of jets and IF the pics are genuine that means what??? (Again, I know nothing about jets and pics seem bogus.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-20608343917666398152007-07-14T02:45:00.000+05:302007-07-14T02:45:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-51234433021096388652007-07-14T02:19:00.000+05:302007-07-14T02:19:00.000+05:30I just remembered how these LTTE cadres killed a c...I just remembered how these LTTE cadres killed a child.they shot him and while he was dying a dirty black faced LTTE female pig urinated into his mouth.We must never ever forget.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-929317116577334262007-07-14T01:53:00.000+05:302007-07-14T01:53:00.000+05:30hey anybody know where Major General Janaka perera...hey anybody know where Major General Janaka perera is?<BR/><BR/>we need to use him for upcoming operations, he is the best commander after General kobbekaduwamagnethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881749560917685384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-1448634707775182952007-07-13T22:18:00.000+05:302007-07-13T22:18:00.000+05:30The best way to hurt this guy is start investigati...The best way to hurt this guy is start investigating his finances-I assume he loves money more than anything else in the world?.But this cannot be done till the war is won and the LTTE decimated because it will open a can of worms-and the president cant fight on 2 fronts.I have a feeling some politicians are seriously scared that the army will win because then the president will start investigating some politicians because i think he is waiting to clean up.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-86176303544912364712007-07-13T22:03:00.000+05:302007-07-13T22:03:00.000+05:30they were compelled to make a "phased retreat" dir...they were compelled to make a "phased retreat" directly into the ground.In hindsight the best place for themSrilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-1678764173964241752007-07-13T22:01:00.000+05:302007-07-13T22:01:00.000+05:30By the way a cemetry of those tiger cadres who per...By the way a cemetry of those tiger cadres who performed a "phased retreat" has been found in thoppigala.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-87509235524510665752007-07-13T21:51:00.000+05:302007-07-13T21:51:00.000+05:30Just reminds me how brave the captured army troops...Just reminds me how brave the captured army troops in the recent Muhamalai war were.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9079007316930841006.post-23692856298904449922007-07-13T21:48:00.000+05:302007-07-13T21:48:00.000+05:30LSTower-Making this kiriella goon part of the firs...LSTower-Making this kiriella goon part of the firstwave is not a good idea because he will betray the army when a 10yr old LTTE cadre holds a knife to his Ba**s.Srilankanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14669706047196092243noreply@blogger.com
