The Sri Lanka Army overran another LTTE strong point in the south of Madhu. The location was used as a command post and mortar base and was under the LTTE Madhu south area leader.
The Tigers had withdrawn their 82mm mortar launchers positioned in the base but had left behind the remains of their dead cadres. Commands given by senior LTTE cadres over radio to return to the base and defend it against the Army were met with stiff resistance by the cadres.

You gullibles,

here read

tsk tsk what was defence.lk gloating about? haha same with everyother security reports.
Your all defence blogs paying lip service to government sites.
Def.Wire,
"Commands given by senior LTTE cadres over radio to return to the base and defend it against the Army were met with stiff resistance by the cadres."
Ha ha! I like this statement. LTTE resisting LTTE, when their asses are set on fire!
You should have continued.
....met with stiff resistance, incurring heavy causalities on both sides. A body count later confirmed that both sides have lost 6 cadres each, but both the LTTE who ran away and the LTTE who asked to dig down and fight, vehemently denied these allegations.
siva,
Actually, many of our reports come before defence.lk. So whose paying lip service to whom then? Or maybe ITS TRUE THAT LTTE IS LOSING!!! Sorry to burst your bubble though.
siva,
Here's an example.
defence.lk report about capture of Ilanthivan/Elanthivan posted at 1.30pm on the 29th.

Now check the time the DefenceWire report was posted (the post before this).
Re Propaganda,
Thank u DW for your exhaustive reply. Indeed I agree with you but would like to have the opponents viewpoints for a complete picture.
bodhi dhana,
when many Srilankans incl DW is trying hard to forget the sad past, why are you trying to dig up dead ghosts?
Re fisherman firing,
I was pleasantly surprised to read the report in a SL paper that the fishermen resorted to a fast-to-death and the LTTE relented somewhat!
also from their accounts the LTTE area as well as border sound quite porous.I could not but note that the LTTE fired in air and warned the fleeing civilians to stop, whereas the SLA fired head on on first sight(these are from the interview from colombo papers by the way).SLA may require more training to withold fire as needed,as civilians are known to cross to Govt areas in this area?
Good news,
I worried if those carders suddenly started seas less waves 5 in massive, imagine a group of 4 to 5 thousand and ran in to SLA controlled areas with ground fire in an instance. ( they do what ever when ever at the unexpected time na.
I was reading a article about Oyada Alaigal 1,2,3 & 4 was massive defense. they let the people in and defeat them sort of technic, SLA dave learned it earlier,must be careful now a days right?
Siva,
LTTE Looks just like fishermen who were starving for days,No shoes , so thats why it happend like that.
May be if LTTE start acting like a real army, it will help SL Army a lot.
You can start by bying them proper boots instead of bata slippers.
So atleast we can see a Difference In LTTE and Fishermen when they Crawl near our ARMY Camps, Alright?
jaya wewa... lets finish up ltte and get together to make one land for all of us..
