LTTE strongholds in East tumble as security forces advance






Strategic fortifications of LTTE terrorists at Ichchalampaththu and Uppural, fell as SL forces advanced responding to the volume of LTTE artillery and mortar barrages in the East.
Seven LTTE terrorist bodies were recovered, while over two dozens were believed wounded, said a military official.
The military advance was combined with precision air raid at identified terrorist targets. The air strikes are believed to have destroyed three LTTE heavy gun locations in Verugal. Earlier, SL security forces sent stark warnings to terrorist cadres in the east to surrender, stating that those who surrendered would be benefited with luxuries of foreign employment, rehabilitation and vocational training secessions.
"We are not at war, but we are in a very high volume of crisis, and we have an intention to put an end to the terrorist issue along the eastern boundary affecting innocent Tamil civilians", declared a defence official.
"Hopefully, the majority Tamils have realised the folly of LTTE democracy served through guns and bullets. The dictatorship of its leader is the most responsible for atrocities perpetrated by the terrorist outfit', he further added.
According to information received security forces are consolidating over the captured areas.
Meanwhile, defence reports stated that an Army officer succumbed to injuries while 19 others were wounded.
