Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) fighter jets bombed a LTTE military installation code named "Radha base" today morning.
The base, located north east of Vishwamadu, Mullaithiv district, was raided by SLAF aircraft at approximately 10.30 AM. Although pilots have confirmed accurate hits on the target, exact damages caused to the LTTE are not yet known. Confirmation of casualty figures through ground based intelligence sources are likely to take several days.

Why the SLAF silent about this matter even though they bombed in the Morning
ReplyDeleteSLAF was silent about this bombing and they waited until the LTTE post some news about this ...but the LTTE www says the SLAF bombed in VISUVAMADU area and destroys 2 houses and injured 3 men ....hmmm
ReplyDeleteLTTE is highly active at night, because they know that Airforce won't bomb them at night.
ReplyDeleteSLAF must acquire night bombing capabilities to efficiently win this war.
On the other hand, SLAF UAVs must coordinate with MBRL and Army teams. The 3G network of Dialog can help efficiently transmitting attack coordinates or UAV streams to the Ground Troops.
"Why the SLAF silent about this matter even though they bombed in the Morning"
ReplyDeleteYou have answered your own question in the second post.
May we ask why you posted the question if you already knew the answer in the first place?
hey any one heard abot LTTE's new product PONNAMMAL mines which is really head ache to the SLA .... Any info about this
ReplyDeletedefencenet...
ReplyDeleteif these chaps had any sense of logic whatsoever... we won't be having this problem in the first place :)
@Shyam
ReplyDeletewhat does 'PONNAMMAL' mean in english
DefenceNet ;
ReplyDeleteOk.. i understood. SLAF don't know where they bombed rite..? thats why they were silent...
PONNAMMAL mines or MAL PONNA mines?
ReplyDeleteLKDOOD ;
ReplyDeleteIts a name..like pasilan ; I think thats the name of the person who makes em
Is this also an air track? May be an old track and no longer exist. it is situated much southern to Iranamadu track. You can check in Google earth with the coordinates in the picture.

Shyam,
ReplyDelete"Why the SLAF silent about this matter even though they bombed in the Morning"
The aircrafts were fitted with silencers to minimize the noise pollution. The world goes green these days, when the same around VP turns red.
Are you still surprised at the news that should have come in the morning, just after the attack?
Do you remember what I said yesterday?
"The SLAF has a catalogue of surprises in the bag," I said. This is one of them; do you know a catalogue implies a collection, not just one.
My man with a crystal ball tells me the spectable of events that are about to unfold in Vanni. First goal post - April. Watch your bearings, mate.
Tamilnet claims that 2 kfirs bombed the area twice, but only 3 wounded and & 2 houses destroyed. These unrealistic details of damage are enough alone to prove this claim as false. I mean, if a civilian settlement was bombed 4 times, the damage has to be higher (since it's not a military camp, there will be no protection like bunkers)
ReplyDeleteDefencenet,
ReplyDeleteWhats the importance in this so called base...
And why should you leave room for some idiots to ridicule your post by asking silly questions..
Can you give us a briefing...
@slpower
ReplyDeletethanks for the map
chamal ;
ReplyDeleteIn kilinochi very hose having a bunker ..when the fighters fly from katunayake they have a alarm system for warning them to .. at that time they seek protection; the alarm alerts them 5 min before then its enough for them .... and in MANALARU also the people made their own bunkers after the LTTE fire some ARTI over them
The efforts of the 'Liberators' have earned them rank among the world best:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20080214_01
"In kilinochi very hose having a bunker"
ReplyDeleteIn Sri Lanka every house has a toilet
"MANALARU also the people made their own bunkers after the LTTE fire some ARTI over them"
They fired arty at their own people to let them know they should build bunkers? Wouldn't it have been easier if they just went to them asked nicely?
P.S:
Sorry about this comment Defencenet
chamal;
ReplyDeleteits a tamils place but nowerdays sinhalese holding the village ..they fired some arti duringthe MAVILARU opperation ok
Public significance of SLAF attacks took a down turn after the x-ray base affair.
ReplyDeleteIn a way it is good; let the SLAF carry out its missions in relative silence. What we want is results more than headline news.
tiger bunker sex has been accepted as a true happening by the UN and Radhika. in an unprecedented charge tigers are accused of 'rape' of 'young girls in LTTE controlled areas'. this is substantiate by LTTE men (instead of boys) manning the national front, large stocks of condoms recovered and now the UN allegations.
tigers have taken a MAJOR step back in their STRICT discipline. this speaks volumes; they are at the receiving end.
a bit more ACTIVE air support to ground troops would be fantastic at this stage.
Is SLA dreaming ltte will abandon north if they keep the pressure?
ReplyDeleteNow defencenet/defencewire admitted ltte is targetting them (SLA) with SNIPERS
ltte is going to be more efficient with these snipers
NORTH is not even comparable with EAST, I wonder when ltte will unleash the real devil inside of them
To all the guys in this blog,
ReplyDeleteShall we all take a resolve not to answer any silly questions by the people who argue on behalf of eelam. So that the discussion would be only about the related topic.
Thank you very much!!
Doesn't look like a successful raid, this one. TamilNet is talking about civilians being injured.
ReplyDeleteShyam is correct on one issue though. I heard from my friends that when Jaffna was under LTTE control every house had a bunker. I am sure its the same now in the Wanni. Perhaps they will hear the sound of the jets hide in the bunkers. There could be an alarm system like Shyam says to.
Any comments about that defencenet?
vpnews,
ReplyDeleteyou are right. but hopefully our guys at the top would have assessed this risk and have a plan.
Ok Guys here is a little poll
ReplyDelete1. We support eelam and division of Sri Lanka
2. We support a United Sri lanka with sufficient powers for affected parties to make their own decisions.
you can answer by stating (1) or (2)
Nilantha,
ReplyDeleteI guess you're not a regular reader of Tamilnut
"Doesn't look like a successful raid, this one. TamilNet is talking about civilians being injured."
They ALWAYS claim that SLAF hits civilian settlements. In fact, according to them, all air raids targeted civilians and none have targeted LTTE military installations.

ReplyDeleteThere could be an alarm system like Shyam says to.

Ohh yea there is a alarm system and it is accurate indeed, its the terrifying sound of the aircrafts
OMG how dumb can we get? We live far from the action, we sometime miss the even the basic things.
Riyaz,
ReplyDeleteI am not participating in this poll, sorry.
I have no doubt that we dont need a poll to decide the obvious answer...
Riyaz ;
ReplyDeletewhat you mean the 2nd poll. its like the state in india(Tamil Nadu) ahhh..?
can we have some sort of a long time airbourne monitoring system? when the pasilan-2000 came up for discussion, i asked the relevance of airships(???), hot-air balloons. (this may be WW1 technology but MAY be relevant)
ReplyDeletebeechcraft-hisar is good but it is not continuous. a continuous airbourne system can do so much more. it can also help (technology allowing) support to recon. teams.
any views???
matara ayya said we plan to get real-time satellite images. i doubt the relevance of them as real-time images are at a very high level not giving much details.
vpnews,
ReplyDelete"Ohh yea there is a alarm system and it is accurate indeed, its the terrifying sound of the aircrafts"
You think they will have time to run and hide in a bunker after they hear a kfir's sound? Within seconds after hearing it, it will be flying above you. (And if it's targeting you, you'd probably be dead by then)
vpnews,
ReplyDeleteWe want the LTTE to unleash the real devil inside.I hope our MBRL/slaf are waiting for them.As far as the general population is concerned the LTTE has been unleashing the real devil on them for the past 30 years(ex:the worst death you cn give an innocent civilian is what they did a long time ago to a poor farming community).so what is coming is not new..we have to as a COUNTRY..start helping our armoured forces enmasse instead of spending our lunch times at the hilton farting with happiness!
@guys
ReplyDeleteif every time SLAF attacks they are hitting civilians !
where are the LTTE ?
are they invisible ?
or are the SLAF wasting money ?
i don't think SLAF attacks civilians for fun & to waste money
these missions are costing $$$
its just crazy if they are just dropping the payload for fun
LOL !
Riyaz,
ReplyDeleteYour right..I am taking your advise bro:)although i get carried away.
srilankan,
ReplyDeletei agree with supporting SLA, etc. but also there IS a clear escalation of violence by the LTTE recently. the more desperate they become the more barbaric and frequent will be their attacks. this is what vpnews is saying.
????
vpnews,
ReplyDeleteu can directly cal me dumb, rather than dragging everyone in. I suppose Londoners during WW2 were also quite dumb .. cos they had alarm systems in London to indicate aerial attack by the Nazis despite them being able to hear the sound of the bombers ...
There are other reasons why asked that question to defencenet. They, perhaps, will rate my question a little better than you...
GUYS I POSTED THE ABOVE POLL TO MAKE CLEAR THAT ITS NO PINT ARGUING WITH PEOPLE WHO OPENLY SUPPORT LTTE AND EELAM.. SO FOR GOD'S SAKE JUST IGNORE THESE STUPIDS.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW ALL OF THE GUYS IN THIS BLOG LOVE OUR COUNTRY.. THAT IS SRI LANKA. SO LETS IGNORE THESE STUPIDS WHO ARE LIVING IN OTHER COUNTRIES AND DOESN'T KNOW THE GROUND SITUATION HERE.
HOPE THE MESSAGE IS PASSED!!
Defencenet,
ReplyDeleteWhat is the reason for SLAF to not conduct night time air raids? If LTTE mostly operates in the night times, why don't we take the advantage of night flying? Please put us in the right perspective.
Moshe,
ReplyDeleteThe post was not intended to denigrade vpnews.I was just saying that at this time we the population must do whatever we can to help our forces..like the iranians did in the iran/iraq war..If you have just one egg to spare or one trouser to spare fx give it to a family belonging to the forces and make them understand we as a nation are very very PROUD of their brave sons/daughters.

Adding some more in to the Sam Perera's question. Why SLAF ignoring their MI-24 helicopters in their air raids?
ReplyDeleteI feel they are carrying out monotonous way of attacking. Isn't using MI-24s are more accurate than using fast air crafts?

Guys,
ReplyDeleteRW is seen pinning posters on a wall, in the Daily Mirror. He is in a plain clothes. The posters are in red, for some reason. Anyway, he cuts a very pathetic figure, in short.
I think this guy should consider his retirement from politics now.
Both the UNP and the JVP have a serious image problem with their leadership.
A political party or movement must be headed by an individual with charisma; Nelson Mandela, JRJ, SWRD, Indira Gandhi, Mrs B and the likes had it; even bad guys have that including our own VP, Osama and Hasan Nasrallah of Hisbulla.
In the absence of a vision, even charisma is handicapped.
When both components are missing, the leadership is politically dead.
I wish the rank-and-file of the UNP dragged RW through a mud bath to tranform the guy completely; they can't choose a better time than an occassion wheh is in an immaculately white suit, for that.
Bishop of Mannar silent on LTTE attack on church
ReplyDeleteBy Harischandra Gunaratna
The Bishop of Mannar had been silent on the LTTE artillery attack on St Sebastian’s Church, Thallady. Tuesday's attack killed six soldiers who were helping the church parish to clean the church in preparation for its annual feast.
When asked whether the Bishop of Mannar Rayappu Joseph who has been continuously critical of the security forces and has been silent about the LTTE atrocities, at least this time sent a message of condolence or a statement condemning the Tiger action, Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara replied in the negative.
"No responsible person from the Church has condemned these atrocities, though we had discussions with the fathers of the particular church.
However Minister Rambukwella said that Bishop Duleep de Chikera has made a statement condemning the terrorist attack on the church.
Ranil ;
ReplyDeletewo wo wo...hey it wasn't success..(thats must be success if the target was civilians ) SLAF used para lights for their opperation ...those are not night capabilities ... In SL Mi choppers have the night capabilities but they can not do bombing in LTTE territory coz they will bring the bird down very easily
Priests deny SLA's "Shramadana story"
ReplyDelete[TamilNet, Wednesday, 13 February 2008, 08:22 GMT]
Rev. Fr. S.K. Devarajah, the parish priest of St. Sebastian Cathedral in Mannaar in a statement issued Thursday, said that "[T]he Sri Lankan Army occupied this church premises on their own. Immediately after the withdrawal of the CFA," and added that his visit to the St. Anthony’s Shrine on the 11th of February 2008 was to ask the SLA permission to hold "Lenten pilgrimage" in the shrine, and not to request the SLA command to conduct Shramadana (voluntary work). Colombo media and SLA had earlier reported that the SLA troopers were in the Church compound cleaning the premises on the Priest's request.
The statement said "the place was very clean and fit for the divine services," when the priest visited the Shrine premises on the 11th February.
Brigadier Udaya Nanayakara, SLA spokesman, told BBC Tamil service Tuesday that the SLA had sent 25 soldiers to help clear church compound at the request to people and priests of the church and 6 of these soldiers were killed and 10 injured when LTTE shells hit the church.
Full text of the statement issued by the priest follows:
Having heard about the unfortunate and distressing incident of shelling that fell in the compound of St. Anthony’s Shrine, Thallady resulting the death of some soldiers and causing injury to some others besides damaging the portico of the church on 12th February 2008, I wish to offer my sympathies and prayers to the families of the victims.
Following this attack I have been receiving calls from Colombo, informing me about the news in the media which connected the incident and our visit to the shrine on the previous day. In this connection I would like to give some clarifications to the general public.
The Sri Lankan Army occupied this church premises on their own. Immediately after the withdrawal of the CFA, as is publicly seen, I obtained prior permission from the OIC of the Army Camp of the Church premises to visit the shrine of the 11th of February 2008 for the purpose of obtaining permission to organize Lenten pilgrimages to the shrine. On the same day we, the priest of the Mannar town had to go to Vankali for our monthly capital Deanery meeting in our Diocesan van. On our way to Vankali at 10.30am, we stopped at Thallady near the statue of St. Anthony’s on the main road and met two officers who accompanied me, the Parish Priest, my two assistant priests and two other priests to the shrine.
We stood in the portico of the church and spoke with the officers for about 5 minutes explaining to them, that we want to have our Lenten pilgrimage to this shrine during this holy season, Lent to pray for peace in our land. The officers very kindly instructed me to submit the names of the participant. In our conversation with them, we never requested “sharmadana” or any other help from them. The Talk about the sharmadana never came up there. In fact we noticed that the place was very clean and fit for the divine services. However, it appears that our visit has been maliciously reported in some of the media as exposing the service personnel to danger by making them undertake sharmadana work.
confusing .........who is saying the truth

cakeboy,
ReplyDeleteThe best course of action is doing nothing..If he wants to gain popularity let him use his own resources..we dont want to give anyone excuses to develop their individual careers.
You guys were expecting Bishop Rayappu Joseph to condemn the attack? Come on, the guy probably threw a party after the six soldiers died. He screams blue murder if anything can be pinned on the SLA, but is deathly silent when the LTTE attacks a church. Last time he even wrote letters to the Vatican whining about the SLA and the government. This man is an embarassment to the Catholic Church, living in his palatial church while the parishioners around him live in mud huts.
ReplyDeleteThere are bad holy men in every religion and Rayappu Joseph is one of the rotten ones in the Catholic Church.

or even this island editorial
EDITORIAL, THE ISLAND
Two bishops on a ‘Peace Mission’
Two Sri Lankan Bishops Malcolm Ranjith and Rayappu Joseph are reported to be now on a ‘peace mission’ in Europe. The bishops’ ‘peace mission’ in far away Europe underscores the reality of the internationalisation of the Sri Lankan conflict. The ‘propaganda war’ in the west has become as important as the real ‘war’ and whether the mission of the two good bishops is to disseminate propaganda or an attempt to bring about genuine peace, is being watched with much interest.
Reports say that the mission of the two bishops is to explain the ‘ongoing peace process’. While bishops, per se, are indeed fit and proper persons to carry the message of peace, it is indeed questionable whether these two gentlemen of the cloth are the best informed about the ‘on-going peace process’. The process from the very commencement has been marked by its ventriloquism – Eric Solheim after his first meeting with Prabakaran saying one thing, Anton Balasingham immediately after saying another thing in London and now Prabakaran saying something quite contrary to what he was supposed to have told Solheim in their first encounter. However, Bishops Malcolm Ranjith and Rayappu Joseph are quite clear in what they have said in London. They have said that the Sri Lankan government does not seem to want a solution to the ‘ethnic issue’ through negotiations but want a military solution.
The two bishops apparently have not spoken to leaders of the Sri Lanka government or not listened to what the government has been saying for the past few weeks. Perhaps they have been listening only to the LTTE. It maybe that they are not convinced of the government’s commitment to peace but can they be certain that the LTTE is genuinely committed to bring about peace? The LTTE as peace mongers appears to be the opinion of the two bishops because they are appealing to European states to bring pressure only on the Sri Lankan government to end the ‘war’ but not on the LTTE.
Bishop Ranjith of Ratnapura and Joseph of Mannar should be possessing an immense largeness of heart to forget the tens, if not hundreds of thousands of bloody corpses strewn from Madras to Colombo by Vellupillai Prabakaran and accept him as a man of peace. His unilateral ceasefire and call for negotiations must have been convincing enough even though be had done it before and gone back to his murder sprees. The new conditions laid down by Prabakaran, such as de-proscription of the LTTE, appears to be quite reasonable in the eyes of the two bishops. It does not strike them that Prabakaran should offer to forsake his terrorism and mass murders in exchange for de-proscription. Maybe, in the opinion of the bishops, it is like demanding an ‘eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth’. The Pope may apologise for the crimes committed by the Roman Catholic Church in the past but why should Prabakaran apologise, particularly to the Sinhala Buddhist chauvinists?
Bishops, particularly those from the Third World, the representatives of the Wretched of the Earth are listened to by the high and mighty in the west. The Council of Christian Churches, the various Roman Catholic Churches and organisations, innumerable religious NGOs will be listening to the revelations of Bishops Ranjith and Joseph. In these times when Christians are being attacked by heathens in these regions of the world, the two bishops will be star attractions.
Perhaps the innocent audiences in the West will not query whether the two bishops are highly politically motivated and sympathetic towards a terrorist movement that has been banned in the United States, India, Britain and is coming under increasing surveillance in other countries. They will not realise that the political objectives of these two bishops are being questioned by even Catholics in this country.
A writer to The Island, Eymard de S. Wijeyeratne, in an article titled Peace Trap, published on May 31 said:.... ‘readers will recall that Bishops Malcolm Ranjith and Rayappu Joseph were adamant that there should be no armed soldiers in the precincts of the Madhu shrine. Their insistence led to the shooting of an unarmed soldier. Who then was armed? Writing about another Bishop, he said: ‘The jaundiced view of bishops is evident in a statement made by the Catholic Bishop of Jaffna, Thomas Savundranayagam, to a British audience. The Bishop advised the British Catholics not to send money through post as it risked being stolen by security forces (Catholic Times of Britain July 30, 2000). On the one hand no man or woman in their senses would send money through post and on the other any money sent by post would be pilfered before it reached Sri Lanka and the soldiers. It is abundantly clear that the objective of the Bishop was to discredit the Sri Lankan armed forces.’
While it is beyond us to educate the west on the politicisation of Catholic bishops and clergymen of lesser rank, we do hope that European embassies in Colombo will inform relevant authorities and voluntary organisations that there are clergymen supporting terrorism in this country.
Our advise to these bishops and others is to follow the recent decision of the Spanish Roman Catholic Church to promote the ex-communication of all members of the Basque Separatist Movement (ETA) from the Catholic Church (See The Island April 10 and 11, 2001. That will indeed be a mighty blow for peace.
the man is scum.

ReplyDelete"Efficiency of israeli AF attacks??..you must be kiddin,rite??..how the IAF bombards innocent civillian homes,buildings.."
Although civilians suffer casualties in Israeli Air Force raids, it doesn't mean they are totally unsuccessful. Israel's success in the six day war was largely due to their Air Force.
I'm not trying to whitewash them, but credit should be given where it is due.
But anyway guys why are we arguing about Israel & mid east? We should be discussing our own affairs....we got more than enough happening here.
"Yov buddy LTTE may target the church to show the world about the SLA using the church for undercover ... and you have to notice that there isn't any civilian injured so there wasn't any civilian rite..!"
ReplyDeleteThe Sri Lanka Army doesn't target the Madu church just because LTTE is using it as cover. I don't see how your argument justifies the act. BTW, though civilians were not injured, a civilian building was the target of the attack.

This has now become into a terrible farce, this Church issue.
ReplyDeleteThe fathers' words are not believed. But it has been accepted by all that there were army soldiers in the Church at the time of the attack.... which is a shame.
I think the issue was first took up as a propaganda tool and has been well messed up by dumb officials.
Look at the LTTE never uttered a word abt it..... that is prudence.

ReplyDeletedefencenet,
ReplyDeleteis there a policy of not targeting family members of senior LTTE leadership? Pottu, Praba etc have family members in universities abroad (e.g. praba's daughter Duwaraha is apparently still studying medical sciences at Dublin University). I'm not advocating killing of individuals that bare no military significance, but, to be honest, i doubt israel's mosad would take the same view if in our position.

ReplyDeleteMannar Assistant Bishop condemns LTTE attack at Cathedral
ReplyDeleteMannar Assistant Diocesan Bishop Rev. Victor Sobei has condemned the LTTE artillery attack on Tuesday (12) morning at St. Sebastian Cathedral in Thalladi, Mannar.
He also offered sympathies and prayers to the families of the victims. Six Army soldiers of Thaladi camp who were engaged in a "Shramadana" at the church building were killed and ten others were injured in the incident.
The St. Sebastian Cathedral building was gravely damaged in the LTTE artillery fire, where civilian lives were saved as troops assisted them to near by shelters till the LTTE guns were neutralized.
Bishop Duleep de Chikera has also made a statement condemning the terrorist attack on the church.
Meanwhile, civilians and military expressed great concerns of the sinister motive of a "Most Rev. Lordship" in Mannar, who is yet to condemn the LTTE artillery attack at the St. Sebastian Cathedral, a callous disregard to civilian life and holy property.
St. Sebastian Cathedral at Thaladi is a place of workship to both the Catholics and non-Catholics in Mannar. The Army troops were making preparations to assist the Lenten Pilgrimages during the holy season.
On 20th November, 1999 LTTE terrorists shelled the holiest Roman Catholic Madhu Church killing 38 refugees and injuring 60, in which the “Most Rev. Lordship” failed to condemn the brutal LTTE act, for reasons only known to him and his sinister psychopaths.
defence.lk is make some jokes ahh ...assistent condemned but the Father didn't condemned ...Assistant might be a set of the SLA ..hehehehehehe idiots
londonistan,
ReplyDeleteOur people have been butchered by the LTTE for 30 yrs.For the moment hold on..there are much better ways than killing them.We dont want blood on our hands..you need to ask yourself what these LTTE honchos kids really want..and plan accordingly
Srilankan ;
ReplyDeleteyov isn't it racism ...DN have to check this out
londonistan,
ReplyDeleteDont worry the presidents son wont be in england for long and i really cant see this murderous filth getting close to him.
Just for your info..sometime ago en la paris these LTTE filth murdered a sinhala man.They were going to intimidate us.The sinhalese in turn threw an LTTE coolie from his apartment on the 7th floor as i can remember..no one touched any sinhalese again.
londonistan,
ReplyDelete"is there a policy of not targeting family members of senior LTTE leadership? "
No we have not specifically targeted them. In fact we helped Charles Anthony enroll in a foreign university about 7-8 years back.
He's come back to return the favor . Currently he's the leader of their de facto air wing.
DN-
ReplyDeleteso we may have done the payments too? for Charles A.'s education and accomadation.
I assume same goes with his sister?
Day in day out Ltte event becomes a big business.
srilankan-
ReplyDeleteMate there are enough Sinhales as well as Tamils stay away from this war. That was due to unwanted politics.
However if we can wipe out these terrorists, Sri Lanka will become the paradise of the world.
Unfortunatil due to some brain wased sad pigs, whole country has to suffer.
btw, LKdood may help us to get some Mr. Kippling's custerd Pies ;)
Denet, hey mate where is this Radha base ? Can ya comment on the Zeenews article abt. the Bunker info ? How at heck did THEY get the info ?
ReplyDeletePerein,
ReplyDeleteBro thats exactly what Vp wanted!!.this LTTE is the biggest business in SLanka.There are people who benefit on both sides.We need to find these creeps who are benefitting from the intense suffering of the rural population and take legal action against them when the war is over.
Perein,
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying.My comments are strictly limited to this LTTE filth as i said previously.
rajarata,
ReplyDeletethey got the info from a SL article found here:
http://www.thebottomline.lk/2008/02/13/B3.htm
It is an irony that these LTTE sypathesizers [like boss, shyam] doesn't understand this simple thing. They clean toilets in the west , send money to Velu, he sends his kids for private education in the west,and sends boss's and shyams grandma's and little nepews to be killed.

ReplyDelete"I'm sorry to say this,but if only Hitler had completed his answer to the "final solution",during WW2,thousands of palestinians would be saved..(THIS IS EQUAL TO AHAMADINAJAD'S RACISM WHICH HAS ALREADY PUT IRAN IN SERIOUS DANGER)
The REAL terrorists are the zionistic israeli's,who contionously persecute the palestinians,right up to this very day!!"
this is RACISM at its lowest ebb. i know this renegade is the same LTTE supported nameD "Retard" or something similar. DN please look into it.
Racism issue should not be confined to sinhala/tamil/muslim affaiars but to Jewish affairs as well.
The Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah issue is a complex one and this is not the forum for that. But a terrorist is a terrorist may he be Hamas or LTTE. Although Hamas is more civilised than the LTTE they are terrorists.
Israel and SL can share alot of technology, skills, expertise, etc. if SL can shed petty politics and join hands with them. Even russia that once dispersed Israel now has many defence projects with them including the attack helicopter project.
Israel's neighbours, Egypt and Jordan are very friendly and have shed extremism and hence are enjoying the fruits of development. Unfortunately the Palestinians are manupulated by others to create trouble and get into trouble. i agree that the 2006 air attacks were not fully effective, but if the Lebanon govt. cannot control terrorists within and if they start firing kauyusha on Israeli civilians the Kneset had to make a decision.
lets discuss the SL terror issue and not the ME issue as the two are;
1. unrelated
2. have different origins
3. the economic disparities of the parties are reversed
4. most do not have indepth knowledge on the ME issue compared to the SL issue.
essentially SL and Israel are facing the SAME problem and using politics to find differences is not the way to go. Israel is the FIRST and ONLY country to allow SL manufacture weapons (Deborah FACs or similar) under licence. Israel supported SL by selling the planes and boats that saved SL for a long time. this is the reality.
londonistan and DN,
ReplyDeletethanks for highlighting MOZARD's capabilities.
although SL does not approve targeting 'foreign terrorists" it could have atleast refraiend from supporting their education efforts. we allowed terror children to sit and pass OL and AL exams and provided certificates, references, etc. for their higher studies only to get it back in bombs!
however, dwarka - the daughter seems to be different according to tamil sources. apparently she HATES war/liberations struggle, etc., etc. and had vowed not to return. some say that she may even marry someone not acceptable to her dumb father.
For those who need alarms or wait for the sound of the Kfirs to run; why bother, simply bend over and kiss your ass good bye. Because if it is coming for you, then you're dead anyway.
ReplyDeleteIf not, just go rape a raw recruit to the maraveer seththupochchi brigade..you might as well enjoy the ride, on the slippery slope to hell.
The story bout bomb attack was false alarm dont worry, I must have been delusional because me and my girl decided to split up today of all days
ReplyDeletewell anyways CNN story was about 80 tigers diening on the air attack on radha base.
DN can you verify
defencenet et al,
ReplyDeleteToo bad they couldn't get Charles Anthony into Cambridge. If they had, i'm sure he and our former president's daughter would have been the best of friends!
An oxbridge admissions tutor once told me, 'if they (prospective students)arn't particularly clever, we expect them at least to be leadership material'. Could it be what Lt. Gen Fonseka has said about Charles isn't just rhetoric!?!
Renegade,
ReplyDeleteYou pinned the label 'freedom fighters' on the people I rated as bad guys; that is outrageous. They are bad guys because they keep killing unarmed civilians deliberately. What is the point of protecting the rights of one human being at the expense of another? What is that bloody doctrine?
You keep raising the issue of 'F10' over and over again with our beloved defencenet, but to no avail.
This is another diversionary maneourve to distract us and get the discussion elsewhere. We all know where your sympathies lie and counter measures are in place to stay on track.
You may be thinking this as psychological warfare. Anton Balasinghmam used this sort of things in eighties and thought the globe rests on his fingertips. Yet, died as a bore, being aged much faster than a tadpole - and broken-hearted. I think you are one of his disciples.
Renegade
ReplyDeleteFreedom fighters don't shoot kids who refuse to join them and piss into their mouths while they are struggling to catch their last breath.
That's what the LTTE scum are known for doing and hence are terrorists.
Grious
ReplyDeleteIf you ever get to watch that pathetic asshole in his so called International profile, you'd realize how bankrupt the so called IC that stage manages the Sri Lankan issues are. The dumb old monkey is always flanked by his fawning Norwegian peacenogers and other mangy mongrels of the western world, and delivers speeches which are acceptable only to the low level scum that tolerated his type for their own agendas. Sri Lanka as a third world country sans a strong patron had to take their shit but most of these clowns would never be taken seriously in real world class situations.
When I have sometime, will post some choice presentations from the old ape, which the world's interested used to consider gospel truth and masterpieces.
watching those videos, most of you will wonder why it is that these never were in the public domain..and understand that the Ranil W govt had a say in keeping it that way.
TS,
ReplyDeleteyou remembered mate..Pissing into dying sinhala child's mouth is a tactic unique to the LTTE.This was done to a poor sinhala child by a female tiger..
I am Sorry to go off the blog a bit, just to share the news that the gosl has eased the restriction and access to a main road in Kandy, since the President is not in residence in Kandy it is pointless denying access to normal bussinesess.There is a terrorists threat there to the President and the cops are not doing their job, it would be advisable for a dedicated police team from Colombo to go there and educate the people in that vicinity of Kandy to inform of suspicious movement of people from other areas who don’t seem to have a purpose and telephone a particular telephone number, as the local cops are too slow to react or the people will take the law into their hand, just as they did on the 27 Jan.
ReplyDeleteNational Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC), India’s largest power producer, and Sri Lanka’s Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) officially agreed Wednesday in Colombo that Vealoor in Trincomalee north will be the site for the establishment of the coal-fired power plant, sources in Colombo said. Although a Memorandum of Agreement was signed between the two parties in December 2006, the proposed project had stalled for nearly a year due to India’s disinclination to agree on Champoor in Trincomalee district, the site originally selected by Sri Lanka, diplomatic circles in Colombo said.
ReplyDeleteGuys,
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting to see how active this blog is :). Now a days, I never go to other sites to read news other than defencenet because the all the info I need is in the article and comments.
Anyways, I think it's wise that we don't even talk about hurting family members of LTTE as long as they are not members of LTTE becuase it's not the right thing to do!

Moshe Dyan,
There is some truth in what you are saying but basically the relationship between the two countries is purely along commercial lines.
Several years ago a book was written by an ex-Mossad officer by the name of Victor Ostrovsky. (By Way of Deception: The Making and Unmaking of a Mossad Officer
by Victor Ostrovsky, avilable on Amazon.com). One of the sensational claims he makes in the book is that at the same time that a Sri Lanka navy delegation was at an Isareli naval base on a procurement mission (he names the base and the time frame), a group of LTTE folks were in the same base for the same purpose. The Israeli govt tried to get the book banned in the USA. If I recollect collectly, Victor Ostrovsky was snatched some where in Italy and taken back to Israel to face trial. He had dual Candian-Israeli citizenship. I belive he now lives in the USA. The point I'd like to make is that Israel has no love for Sri Lanka. They are solely in the business of making money.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Ostrovsky
casc,
ReplyDeleteyes, that was in the 1980s when a kind of an "arms embargo" was on SL. to add to your story, our navel personnel were sold a front-loading washing machine calling it a RADAR!!!! our guys had bought it LMSSAO (due credits to OaOA)!!!
then what happened was JRJ tried to fool israel just for arms purchases only. anyhow the Israelis also took part (at that time) in training the STF (and LTTE cadres as well).
But things changed in 1995; till today israel has sold SL many FACs + FAC/UFAC technology (no other country has done so!!) and Kfirs.
mind you this is in spite of our politicians making a mockery of Israel-SL relations.
israel even DONATED 3 UAVs that were destroyed at the AAB; i heard from israeli press that they planned to donate 2 more after the event.
so israel is one of the BIGGEST arms suppliers to SL when it comes to arms that MATTER.
when compared to Israel's arms industry, SL is not even worth mentioning and they would not try much to robb SL today.
agree???

[In kilinochi very hose having a bunker ..]
Now I would not call the droopy phalluses of the starving, overstressed, LTTE maggots possessing a “hose”…but if you insist, heck I will concede it in the interest of ethnic harmony! :) :) :)
[when the fighters fly from katunayake they have a alarm system for warning them to .. at that time they seek protection; the alarm alerts them 5 min before then its enough for them]
enough for what? To “disengage” from the freshly kidnapped virgins Tamil girls and dive into the 30ft bunker leaving the poor girls in the surface bunkers who would say “now where is the captain/col/ gone…that was quick!“
“ and in MANALARU also the people made their own bunkers after the LTTE fire some ARTI over them”
So let me get this straight…LTTE had to fire ARTI “over them” (just scraping their scalp I suppose) for the hapless Tamil civilians to spring into action and start digging…digging…digging to burrow into the earth? Wow! Is this strange but an ancient ritual from the “Tamil supremacists culture” that we had forgotten…? If so, pray tell me more o, wise one...about this strange ritual. I guess in ancient times your ancestors got elephants to fart “over them” (as ARTI was not invented yet) and then the occupying TamilNadu Dravidian Tamils in SL did the same digging…digging…digging…? Wow! Amazes me what you learn in one day!

[tiger bunker sex has been accepted as a true happening by the UN and Radhika. in an unprecedented charge tigers are accused of 'rape' of 'young girls in LTTE controlled areas'. this is substantiate by LTTE men (instead of boys) manning the national front, large stocks of condoms recovered and now the UN allegations.]
Man o man…at this rate, yours truly OaO Asithri might even join the LTTE excreta-maggots! After all, nothing like an “equal opportunity free-for-all jamboree" now and then when you are in the "rat race!" LMSSAO!

[I wonder when ltte will unleash the real devil inside of them…]
…When the SLA captures Killi in the near future, it’s going to be a different kind of devil this time…actually, it will be the “devil’s scream” that’s in store I believe! The captured LTTE honchos (mercifully for them, hope they will be dead) will be given the “katukambi” treatment before they will become instant “maaveerars”…that’s the buzz I have got from…well, I don’t have to tell you from where! LMSSAO!

[if you wish to contact that dogs scrotum, Bishop Rayappu Joseph and ask him why he did not condemn the St Sebasctian church artillery attack by his heroic LTTE, and yet he is quick to condemn the SLA, or any other questions, he can be contacted on the following]
Bro, no this rabid dog-cum drop – Bishop Rayappu – deserves a ride in a freshly painted white-van! This son-of-devil has done more than anyone else in the SL clergy (from any denomination) to promote and sustain LTTE terrorism and it is high time he just was rewarded with a quick ticket to see St. Peter! LMSSAO!
Cake:
[However, Bishops Malcolm Ranjith and Rayappu Joseph are quite clear in what they have said in London. They have said that the Sri Lankan government does not seem to want a solution to the ‘ethnic issue’ through negotiations but want a military solution.]
These to bloody excreta worms, basically parasites living off the fat of innocent Sri Lankans, are avowed RW supporters and this action on their part is no different to what RW does when he goes abroad! Damn it…where are those white vans when we need them? TMVP, how about finding a freshly painted, gleaming white van, tout de suite and waiting for the dispatch call? LMSSAO!

ReplyDeleteI agree with you. In this time of need for SL, where basically Europe and North America have shut out Sri Lanka from arms purchases, the arms from Israel are critical for Sri Lanka.
"(BTW i have a personal connection by decend to the land of the Morning Star; just ignore if i go over the limit)"

i know you are not a TERRORIST.
in fact israel (including moshe dayan) has done SO many nasty things needing critisism. but at the end of the day they also need a country and like the sinhalese have only one in the whole wide world and they would do ANYTHING to keep it.
Several years ago, the Canadian Security Intelligence Agency came out with a profile of Doomsday Cults. It is amazing how the LTTE fits this profile.
ReplyDeleteCharacteristics of Doomsday Movements
1. Apocalyptic Beliefs: doctrines expressed through rites helps to shape a violent world view characterized by an inherent volatility.
2. Dualism - The belief that the world is fractured into two opposing camps of Good and Evil
3. The persecuted chosen - Movements view themselves as prophetic vanguards belonging to a chosen elite but feel persecuted by wicked and tyrannical forces, which push the group to make concrete preparations to defend their sacred status.
4. The persecuted chosen - Movements view themselves as prophetic vanguards belonging to a chosen elite but feel persecuted by wicked and tyrannical forces, which push the group to make concrete preparations to defend their sacred status.
5.Determinism - Since a group devoutly believes it will be the ultimate winner of the final battle, if it believes a catastrophic scenario is being actualized, the group may feel it has no choice but to try to trigger the apocalypse through violence.
6. Salvation through conflict / enemy eradication - As salvation depends entirely upon direct participation in the apocalyptic struggle, a group is always on the verge of anticipating confrontation, which justifies action to eliminate evil and eradicate enemies.
7. Charismatic Leadership: Beliefs are associated with volatility when embodied in and disseminated by charismatic leaders who wish to portray themselves as messiahs, identify the millennial destiny of humankind with their own personal evolution and demonize opposition to their personal aggrandizement.
8. Control over members - Groups monopolize members’ daily lives and circumscribe their belief systems within rigid doctrines, insulating them from the influence of broader social constraints. The leader is then well positioned to ask his followers to commit acts they would not normally engage in, albeit violent ones.
8. Lack of restraint - Leaders believe themselves to be free from social laws, and operate in a social vacuum where there is a relative absence of normal institutionalized restraints to curb their whims. Its own social code is established as the basis of all acceptable behaviour. Here authority can be exercised arbitrarily without restraint, a situation that facilitates violence
9. Withdrawal and mobilization- physical, social and psychological withdrawal, intensifying a leader’s power and increasing the homogenization and dependency of the followers. When withdrawal is coupled with the group’s expectation that it will face hostility and persecution, members often feel they must mobilize for “endtimes” by acquiring weapons and securing defences.
10. Actions by Authorities: state authorities usually embody all that is evil for the movement and which must be vanquished in order for the apocalyptic scenario to be realized.

Guys….this is a bit of news that I first thought of not sharing with you as it is damn bloody pathetic, but then on second thoughts, I thought it is better to share with you to tell you how horrific this war is all about…for not only our SLA bravehearts, but also for the LTTErs in front lines!
ReplyDeleteYesterday I spoke to a SLA contact of mine who was in Colombo on brief leave from the Mannar war front…and he told me this harrowing story:
In one of the bunkers the SLA captured recently by killing 3 occupants in it – 2 females, one male (females looked like between 13-15 and the male looked barely 13), they found one of the females with her head virtually blown off (from a SLA RPG round), but the rest of her, meaning her torso was intact but for some curious reason her tattered tiger-stripe pants was caked in blood too…and then it was discovered that evidently, it was not blood from her head being blown off, but from her menstrual periods...and she had died a miserable death at the front line, like a human discard.
Furthermore, there was a brief note in her pocket addressed to her sister telling her that yes, she is 2 months late in seeing them, but hopefully she will soon!
Evidently LTTE is so short of cadres that it cannot relieve those on duty in all of their FDL bunkers and some are lagging in the bunkers for months at end, with no relief. This appears to be a major hit as LTTE used to have regular rosters to relieve bunker guards with a great supply assurance system in between! Additionally, now LTTE is also not able to send regular “provisions” to the bunkers (i.e. be it ammunition or something as basic as feminine hygiene pads/items…as many of the supply routes are now under suspected LRRP attacks and apparently no one know when/where the next LRRP attack will occur (confirmed by captured LTTErs’ confessions)…anyway, this was a piece of sickening news that I heard …I felt awful as it brought home another dimension of this ugly war to my mind…well, anyway the good news is the end is also now finally coming into sight (the proverbial “light at the end of the tunnel)..
I still feel kinda sick about what I heard…yes, believe me, even a hard-assed dude like OaO Asithri can be moved…especially when it comes to "females" as in our culture we have learned to treat the “fairer sex” with certain courtesy and dignity…in my case, from my young days...at least that was my upbringing.

You guys are great; the pessimism that once swept across this blog has suddenely vanished. Don't get downbeat by occassional setbacks; they are part of the game. Now, no turning back, folks. We had enough, didn't we?
Look, the German threat of sanctions is gone; I said it in my last thread.

ReplyDeleteGuys,Don't forget about Pakistan when we talk about our "friends".
General Mussaraff is a true friend of Sri Lanka. In 2000, after the LTTE took over Elephant Pass, if not for the multi barrel rocket launchers from Pakistan, which silenced the LTTE artillery, it could have been a disaster. The Indian Govt offer was to evacuate SLA soldiers from Jaffna. Lieutenant General Srilal Weerasooriya, the ambassador to Pakistan, was a batch mate of General Mushraff at the Pakistan Military Academy, and is a personal friend of the General.
This is from an Indian website. Much of it propaganda and exaggeration but some truth to it
"Reliable Tamil sources also say that about 12 to 15 members of the Pakistani Armed Forces, including four or five from the Pakistan Air Force, are stationed in Colombo to guide the Sri Lankan security forces in their counter-insurgency operations. The Pakistan Air Force officers have reportedly been guiding the SLAF officers in effectively carrying out air-mounted operations against the LTTE. They have also been reportedly involved in drawing up plans for a decapitation strike from the air, with bunker-buster bombs, to kill Prabakaran.The reported posting of Air Vice-Marshal Shehzad Chaudhry, who had handled in the past air-mounted operations against the Baloch freedom-fighters, is expected to further step up the Pakistani involvement in the use of air strikes to subdue the LTTE and intimidate the Tamil population."

Pilots Hit LTTE’s Nayaru Bases
ReplyDeleteMULLAITHIVU: AIR FORCE FIGHTER CRAFT this morning at about 8.30 a.m. conducted one more aerial raid on an LTTE forward operations base for WELIOYA sector and a major Sea Tiger base in NAYARU, MULLAITHIVU.
The aerial attack on both LTTE’s leading military bases came after a similar attack on Thursday (14) on another terrorist base.
Pilots confirmed the targets were accurately taken.

ReplyDeleteDailyMirror breaking news is faster than defence lk website. And most of the informations are missing in defence lk website.
That's why I always say this "Hulugalla" man is not capable, he just bullshit,,,we need to have a dynamic man to handle propoganda,,,even outsourcing to an agency like "Triad" also a possibility.cos they did a good one for"api wenuwen api"
Government will have to set objectives & give to an agency to achieve it.
we need a propogandist like joseph gobells of Hitler
Cheers

ReplyDeleteFunny reply
havent u heard of "krishanthi's story?" @ jaffna
on her way back school she was taken on a checkpoint while going home with colegues, they went and told their parents that Krishanthi was stopped by Army for quiestioning. then her mother went to see her daughter with neibour (Male) and they got to know her daughter got raped by 3 Army Soldure. and finally before leaking the story security personnel killed mother and the neibour too... in mid 90's
just to remind you Mr. (non)Tamilan u would have given your mother infact.
Sorry about it. DN

ReplyDeleteDev ;
ReplyDeletewhy are you talking about the old stories ...talk about recent incidents...Allaipity rape and murder in 2007 ... and specially Haiti ...its a shame for the UN also
Dev,
ReplyDeleteI know lot of stories..
I dont want 2 fight with u.
Both of us r Tamils.
so, mission of both of us should b the same.
When read Asithi's post,
Tears on my eyes.. but
Angry in your heart..
My tears will lead to protect the remaining innocent tamils.. while your angry will lead to kill the remaining innocent tamils.
This is the different between U and me.
Shyam, v should not forget one LTTE leader raped a little tamil girl recently and he didnt get any punishment.
@ Shyam
ReplyDeleteInfact i wroted for the current situ.
"tiger bunker sex"
seems like SLA is perfect on all ends.
Tamilan cant even understand the basics. thats why i reminded him.
Our house is been set fire by SLA (our house + 1000 more houses too in 90) still i am not a suppoter of Terror
No one cant say no. cos GOVT paid us for it.
forget it. no point
Dev;
ReplyDeleteThere isn't any proof for the sex on bunkers ..it can't be..and it never happen ...they are on the fronline for save the tamils life; they are not fighting for money or anything ...according to these guys info .. ..not like SLA you know one thing SLA were be with Jesus christ ...these cruel mother fuckin begers worrying about the tamils ...as like you these guys abduct ma relatives for money ..and they killed one also ...we are not terrorist we are fighting for our rights and to save the tamils from SLA and GOSL
@ thamilan I dont Know where u from, but i have enough exp in war zones. I have seen both parties well. I have been in jungles without proper meals for weeks. to save our lives i have under gone a Heli fireing luckyly nothing happend to us. i have soon bullets and bunkers enough.
ReplyDeleteNow ppl sit in AC room and posting comments on current war. still truth remains hidden.
@ Shyam
ReplyDeleteMoshe Dyan said...
Public significance of SLAF attacks took a down turn after the x-ray base affair.
In a way it is good; let the SLAF carry out its missions in relative silence. What we want is results more than headline news.
tiger bunker sex has been accepted as a true happening by the UN and Radhika. in an unprecedented charge tigers are accused of 'rape' of 'young girls in LTTE controlled areas'.
its not my comment "go to top"
Shyam,

ReplyDeleteWhats their proof...hey buddy you know one; these guys never allow them to visit Vanni then how the hell they know whats happening there...you know this msg might be given to them by the KARUNA or EPDP groups ok....but these groups familiar with it coz they are being with SLA na....
All the SLA thrusts have been 'thwarted' by the LTTE.... if the SLA hasn't captured even an inch of land, whats the point of losing all these men?
ReplyDeleteDear Asithri,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your posts & kind comments.It just shows you what a combination of skillful diplomats(instead of all these uneducated lepers who have been transferred overseas as diplomats simply because they invited certain ministers for dinners in the past)and a healthy population of sinhalese can do overseas.Dont get me wrong i am for the success of ALL communities in SLanka.This is why since i have been on this blog i have been encouraging our people to get their families abroad(because this also gives people different perspectives).This LTTE was planned soon after 1948 probably by some indian tamils and for over 60 yrs you have had these LTTE lepers use lax immigration laws and the kindness of people overseas to build their population bases.To start the armed rebellion any excuse would have been fine including the fact that the "sinhala buddist chauvenistic govt" tried to control vps farting frequency..The LTTE is a kind of private limited company with a military wing...an innovation indeed!!
I am really heartbroken for the 3 kids on the mannar frontline.Our only consolation is that the end to this perverted filth will prevent other kids from having to go through this agony in future.We have to redouble our efforts to save these children by all means possible..by any and all available means possible.May god protect the kids of our innocent northern citizens.
Asithri,
ReplyDeleteThe way i see it..the point of the LTTE was initially to maintain all the previlleges accorded to a minority among the tamil population (not all) during the british rule(this was not a social uprising-knowing utter racism among their own people).I hope the wisdom,compassion and magnanimity of the LTTE have changed their minds somewhat.Our idiotic politicians did not help either starting with wonderful JRJ whose only interest was politics regardless of the consequences to the country and should have anticipated events reasonably well..being a man with a single grey cell..
Hey any one heard about LTTE submarines which is made by them haaa?
ReplyDeleteGuys,
ReplyDeleteI have a question.
When the SLA captures bunkers of the LTTE what do they do? Do they consolidate on those positions? or Just come back to the old positions to avoid being hit by LTTE Artillery fire?
What do the LTTE do when their bunkers get captured? Would they rain Artillery and mortars to drive the SLA behind?
Nice article(15/2/) on defencewire..about the SLAF attack on vps antiaircraft regiment..a good read..
ReplyDeletesrilankan,
ReplyDeleteAs a Tamil I personally respect you, bcoz i learned that you have a fair knowledge about tamils and you respect tamils.
Sinhalese should understand why karuna and EPDP with them bocz of their enemy is LTTE, otherwise they will be worst than LTTE.
Lakshman Kathirgamar did a great Job and Ananda sagarie doing the same..
My dream :
"I would like to see Asithri & Shyam watching a match get together with SL Flag in future."
Cheers!!!
thamilan.lk,
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your input.As for your comments i wish that also but there has to be a lot of healing/recuperation before.Healing is an excellent idea for all our communities after this is over.We have a lot of "dirty linen" to prosecute..i hope you understand what i mean because i cant be more descriptive.
I will at this stage reserve judgement on Commander Karuna.however if he engages in unlawful activites then even if TMVP win this vote they will loose the next election and he will become isolated as a common criminal.I dont think he is a personality like that because all his activities over the past 30 yrs will be in vain.He wants his people in the east to remember him as a man who boughtt them peace,prosperity and equality.
Guys,
ReplyDeleteThis is how the event now takes place in Vanni - away from the prying eyes of the security apparatus and on cleared patches in the middles of thick jungle.
This is further proof that the savages are cornered.
Riyaz, you can give us a bit more details about it; the rascals in it, especially the females. Most bloggers would appreciate it.
hmmm...
ReplyDeletecan Any body give me an answer pls?
1. In mannar SLA offensive (3fronts) scenario, I got to know SLA captured few KM area by Dedicating their troops to the nation, and now again LTTE was Pushed SLA back to our Original posission.is that true?
2. If SLA was holding a the captured area, How does the LTTE send Arti or MBRL to Mannar (the shown Area)? which is more than 30 KM am i correct?
some one correct me pls.
thamilan.lk,
ReplyDeletepeople cannot change what they have done in the past.they can only change what they do in the future..This is why Hon president is not banning the LTTE even now..because he wants VP to lay down arms..actually i suspect Hon pres does not want any more innocent people to die.As a person of your own culture VP has destroyed your race not to mention in the future the srilankan tamil identity will be lost/cease to exits in the west.We sinhalese should have seen this coming..and placed ourselves between the tamil politicians and the tamil people of srilanka.
thamilan.lk,
ReplyDeleteWhen you think about people you have to become that person (forget you are you) and think of what your doing..
Good luck girls !

qrious,
ReplyDeleteYou keep raising the issue of 'F10' over and over again with our beloved defencenet, but to no avail.
Er..F10?..you mean like in the keyboard?..its about rhe F-7 Fighter jet,dude..get your facts straight!!..for your info,the story of the chinese F-7's,is no big secret..the SLAF dudes in the exhibition confirmed the same!!..what i was interested in,were pictures of these aircraft,since i'm a military/defence enthusiast & collect stuff related to these..i could send you some,if you are interested??..get real,qrious!!
Tropicalstorm,
If you had read my comments properly,you would see that I have mentioned Al-qaeda,Israeli government & the Tigers,as terrorists(terra's)!!,,get it?
Moshe dayan,
Huh?..just becoz you bear an israeli name,doesn't give u any friggin rite,to talk that way..continue lickin/fondling with sharon's balls..you enjoy that sort of thing,after all,don't you??
On a lighter note,its fun to see asithri blogging away(here) his misery,sadness & loneliness..the only way he can let out his(OR hers,not sure)? frustration,is to try to "castrate those Tiger leper maggots",just becoz of the simple fact,that asithri is most likely an Eunuch(castrated male)..:)
Apologies,Defencenet for going off-course a bit!! hope you'll understand..

ReplyDeletewe respect ppl like you brother .. we need ppl like you who have a sound thinking behind to understand something not the puppets who post fairy tales here.
I respect your views..
lets lets hope that soon there will be a day where we all can get together and enjoy
Long-standing deficit, finally being met?
ReplyDeleteSo,
-the airforce has female pilots on the way (hopefully) and now paratroopers,
-the stf has female commandos,
-the navy has a female fighting formation i think,
Q1: does the army have a female fighting formation?
Q2: how far are we from having female fighting formations from being deployed into the battlespace? I have a feeling in this respect for cultural reasons, we are still far behind the ltte (despite the advantages female lrrp/recce units will have over their male counterparts).
Renegade,
ReplyDeleteF10 error is regretted. Information that you generoulsy offer about 'commission' earned during the purchase; no, thanks.
Do you want me to become a convert to your notion of thinking about freedom fighters? Not in this life, mate.
Renegade, Shyam, theboss and the likes,
ReplyDeleteMy man with the crystal ball just relayed me a very significant piece of information. It is interesting because its resonance with what MR has been saying for a couple of weeks: the thinking of the unthinkable - the capture of VP alive.
According to my man, VP is not going to swallow the cyanide capsule that he displays around his neck, after all. He would rather be captured alive, dashing the hopes of thousands of his followers that include the handful of time-wasters who expose the open-end of their rectum here, from time to time, who were dreaming of serialising his legend.
Since I got this information, my imagination started running riot: I see a long stretch of humanbeings queing up to see this phenomenon, where VPhe is held with hands tied behind his back. Guess who is at the front of the queue! It is Douglas Devananda, followed by Ananda Sangaree. The army let them see their tormentor - face to face.
You all expect a violent pandemonium breaking out; you will be disappointed. Everything is just low-key: Douglas chose to tap VP's little Prabakaran 13 times, reminding him of his frequency of survival at the hands of black tigers unleashed by VP himself, while Sangaree, who was under similar threat, assisted him in counting. The flashes that clicked across my mind nearly drove me crazy.
I did feel sorry for VP. The part of anatomy that took the battering, was not meant to be a shock-absorber, even if it belongs to a very hard man like VP. I know I can find a few guys to share my sentiments in this forum and the post is duly addressed in their name.
We will see VP in chains, folks.
What You Guys think About This?
ReplyDeleteCan We Believe this...
Court told JVP got arms from LTTE
Giving evidence in a deformation case against JVP propaganda Secretary, Wimal Weerawansa, a retired Army Major General told the court today that the JVP had worked closely with the LTTE and during 1988-1989 period it got arms from the terrorist organisation through the Hambantota district.

Shyam,
ReplyDeleteI got a man with a crystal ball and a woman who looks at the crab nebula for the same, while not wearing her pants, when going into trance. They are not the best buddies in the world, but agree on one thing. VP is going to be captured alive and the cyanide capsule is just a waste of chemicals.
There are war-mongers who swallowed the cyanide capsule as the last resort; Hitlter's deputy Herman Goerring was one of them. Did he display the cyanide capsuel in public? It was nearly pubic. He hid it in his a*** hole only to consume on the morning of his planned hanging.
Barking dogs seldom bite and rarely mate, if you have the brains to get my hint. Why does he display the damn thing around his neck? I think it should have been hidden along with his penis.

ReplyDelete14 Tamil civilians surrender to Navy
15 Feb 2008 - 10:04
MANNAR: Three families consisting of fourteen (14) Tamil Civilians which included ten(10 males and four (04) females from the VELLANKULAM area, MANNAR who were forced to escape from the LTTE terrorists areas reported to the Sri Lanka Navy at VANKALAIPADU on Tuesday (12) morning.
Take a look at the headline...Why normal people needs to surrender to the SLN?
The GOSL propaganda is hitting rock bottom.
Attack is the Best Defence-
ReplyDeleteI do not think DN can help much mate. DN team has surely has real job than looking and deleting the comments.
Main fault is simply others keep replying to Shyam. Why cannot all ignore him /her /it.
Sooner we do sooner we get some results.
Guys,
ReplyDeleteDefencewire reports a small incident reported on last Wednesday when 53rd Div confronted with a group of terrorists. "the Tigers admitted over the radio that it had lost 3 'Lieutenant Colonels' from its elite Charles Anthony Regiment in this single attack. The rank of 'Lt. Col.' is the second highest rank in the LTTE".
pina,
ReplyDelete"Defencewire reports a small incident reported on last Wednesday when 53rd Div confronted with a group of terrorists"
It's 57th Div.
Anyway guys, could they be trying to mislead us with this 3 Lt. Col.'s? I mean, it's not a very clever idea for 3 Lt. Cols to travel together in a war zone is it?
Boss,
ReplyDeletethamilan.lk is not a thamilan. he is surely trying pose as a thamilan but he is not. I know this for sure.
Any thamizhan talking like thamilan.lk must be either douglas or sangaree. he aint both. so he is an imposter :-)

The Secret War in South Asia
ReplyDeleteFebruary 15, 2008: While violence in Pakistan and Afghanistan get lots of attention, most of the action in the region is taking place far to the south, in Sri Lanka. There, a civil war between ethnic Tamil separatists and the government, accounted for over half the combat and terrorist deaths in the region (Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bangladesh) this year. It's true that Pakistan and Afghanistan account for most of the remainder, and largely because international terrorist organizations like al Qaeda have set up their bases along the Pakistani-Afghan border. But most of the fighting is now going on far to the south, where the 25 year old civil war is grinding to a conclusion (with the rebels losing.)
Sri Lanka is in the tropics, so weather does not slow down the violence, as does Winter in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Thus, while nearly 8,000 have died in Afghanistan and Pakistan in the last year, nearly 3,000 have died in Sri Lanka. Even taking climate into account, there's a pretty violent conflict taking place in that island nation off the southern tip of India.
Chamal,
ReplyDeleteIt is possible.this is because these guys probably wanted to launch a surprise attack against the army from madu chaurch area hopeing that the army will retaliate and destroy the church plunging christianity against the army.Previously they tried to involve india for many years but no hope in that direction even though they are trying .
