KKS suicide attack- 2nd update

Navy says only minor damages have been caused to the Merchant Vessel Nimalawa while MV Ruhuna was completely unharmed. All Sea Tiger cadres who engaged in the attack were killed. No casualties are reported to the Sri Lanka Navy personnel on board the vessels who engaged in a successful counterattack using MPMGs and LMGs.

Search operations are ongoing to locate remains of the Tigers and their equipment. The Navy has also managed to capture one suicide boat while the other two were blasted. It is believed that the suicide boats had been lying in waiting near KKS following the easing of fishing restrictions.

The attack has taken place in the outer harbour area at KKS. All telephone connections in the Jaffna Peninsula was obstructed immediately after the attack. More details will follow as soon as normal connections are restored.

Thanks DW,

Nice posting, give us more details as it comes.

Kaava,

Shutup and go to tamilnut for the ultimate truth about anything and every thing.

At least I thing another 8 to 10 tigers perished with 03 boats. That is also progress for us.

Suicide attack sinks Sri Lankan merchant ship: defence official
Updated at: 0724 PST, Wednesday, October 22, 2008
COLOMBO: Tamil Tiger rebels sank a merchant ship in a suicide attack off Sri Lanka's northern peninsula of Jaffna early Wednesday, a defence official said.

He said rebels from the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rammed an explosives-laden boat into the vessel, which was carrying essential supplies, just outside the port of Kankesanthurai.

The number of casualties was not immediately clear. The official said that a second ship in the area was also under attack by the Tigers, who are facing a major military ground offensive in the northern mainland of Sri Lanka.

koombiya said...

I guess the navy has to look in every prospective, They can not ban the fishing since it may be the only way of living for the people there, and no way to check each and every boat.

Unknown said...

This type of attacks were always anticipated.Going by the defence.lk report I feel the damaged ship will sink(or already sunk).

I wonder whether we had any supplies received recently from Pakistan onboard this ship.Can't help.

Anonymous said...

The Nimalawa has damages on the Hull,
This is fixable,may cost a bit but its fixable , while Ruhuna is unharmed, these were Merchant vessels ma..n, nothing belonging to the Navy, they just carry supplies to civilians..you can get more of these.

Moshe Dyan said...

1. tigers MAY have caused damaged to our transport systems, in which case we should IMMEDIATELY replenish them. the transport capacity should not be allowed to drop.

2. we have a dangerous situ given the strategic implications of "humanitarian" supplies and 40k-50k SLA in jaffna. it should be avoided by 1 above IF the attack was successful.

civilians depend partly on the shipments BUT SLA TOTALLY depend on them.

IF the attack was not successful, tigers will try again and again to cause similar humanitarian catestrophes and try to cut-off SLA positions. SLN & especially SLAF should be ready. should take this as a warning for more dangers ahead and act accordingly.

3. remaining sea tiger positions should be blown by SLAF as a preventive/deterrent measure ASAP.

Jambudipa said...

I guess there is no other choice than reimplementing fishing restrictions. Back to govt handouts for these fisherman. man.. these Jaffanese are really cursed people.

Why the F you do here if DW lies? Go and get your ultimum truth from TamilNut ! Ah before that ask your mom to change your Pampers.

Lankapura said...

bhatiya/rana, don't be silly - why should Jaffna civilians starve because of these barbarians?
Tamilnut is too busy talking about 'Paradigm Shift'. In the last month or so Tamilnut has become quite a comic site. I go read it when I need a good laugh. They interview some monkeys.. I mean jokers.. about what their solution is for Sri Lanka. LMAO. Who listens to these jokers? Oh I forgot the sakkiliyas here..

A.K.Paranthaman said...

Extreme and rana,
I am dared to give my full original name and discuss the issues. but you blooody bastards do not know courtesy. You people will never change and you are going to get ruined.
I have never talked like this even in other posts but you are forcing me to take a stance like this.

Anyway, i have taken the post from a pakistan journal and just wanted to update to get the true picture.

Do you know why the SLA is still licking the LTTE ass? Because of bastards like you who are not ready to take the true picture.
For others, i am sorry that i have used harsh comments.

Try and analyse properly, otherwise you will never win even after 100 years.

Jambudipa said...

Dear Extreme,

Don't ever get angry. Anger is self-defeating. Parathman is the way he is because this is culture he grew up in. We need to show sympathy to him. Let the dogs bark while this caravan will surge ahead.

Booru Paranthaman,

From where did you MF find this? SLA is kicking ass of ZTTE. Go finish clean the toilet without dump Dumb comments. Otherwise ZTTE tax collectors will squeeze your balls asking your 40% contribition.

Moshe Dyan said...

ak paranthaman,

please read the following from thoams john pullei.

http://www.srilankaguardian.org/2008/10/only-kamikazes-support-tamil-elam-now.html

"This liberation struggle has killed at least 40,000 Tamils over the past 32 years since the LTTE leader himself killed a Tamil politician in 1976. This is more than 2.0% of the (North-East or Sri Lankan) Tamil population. As a nation, more than 80,000 have perished due to the armed Tamil liberation struggle which is around 0.4% of the population. It is clear that the Tamil liberation struggle has taken a heavier toll on the Tamil community as Hitler’s Aryan German struggle decimated the German race itself. Look at it another way. From 1983 to 2008, around 2.5 million people have died due to all causes mainly natural causes. This means the war was responsible for a little over 3% of the total deaths which is insignificant in the scheme of things. More people have died from road accidents and natural disasters than due to war. And more have died from suicides and homicides due to personal reasons than from the war in the past 25 years.

However, a different picture emerges when these calculations are performed for the Tamil community. At least 16% of total deaths of (North-East or Sri Lankan) Tamils were caused by the Tamil liberation struggle! Therefore although war was never a major cause of death in Sri Lanka, it has been a significant cause of death in the North-East (or Sri Lankan) Tamil community. Why can’t all the loonies and kamikazes who support Tamil Elam take a good look at these numbers?"


my calculation.
SL tamil population % has reduced from 13% in 1981 to around 9% by 2001 estimates. further estimates say it is around 7% by 2008.

reduction % for 25 years = 6
TF reduction % for a further 29 years = 7
TF % left after another 29 years IF what was happening for the past 25 years continue = NIL (0%).

former central bank governor, n u jayawardena said by 2025 tamil population will become 2.5% an insignificant minority.

so it is not difficult to
understand WHO will remain after 100 years!!!!!!

Unknown said...

Obviously, LTTE or TamilNet has not yet released any figure or mentioned about this, all I can tell you is, when the Sri Lankan defense ministry hurry and release the news first, that means something BAD happened and they want to divert the story. That has always been the history.

The following days will bring the truth!

Don’t get overwhelmed with DefenceLier's stories... think relatively.

SL RealEstate said...

TamilNewsWorld.com Reports it as a ship loaded with militry hardware.
Also looks like one completly gone and the other badly damaged.

Nihara said...

Moshe Dyan

WELL SAID MATE!!
THAT'LL SHUT THE PEELAMIST,PARANTHAMA!

SL RealEstate said...

About TamilNut. There are speculations that TamilNut was asked not to publish anything till further notice. Looks like there is a major plan. Watch out guys

Jambudipa said...

Dear Kaavalan

If this ship was loaded with military hardware and its now gone, what are the implications?

Unknown said...

don't worry Moshe Dyan, Tamil's are not going away from our mother land, we are muliplying around the world, and like Istralies, we will even strike... and don't forget the Tamil Nadu, it has over 60 millions of Tamils, and they can easily cross a 16km of water just like that.

Don't get too exited!

B#1 said...

Paranthaman,

I can understand your situation well. Most of the people do not like to send funds to LTTE, but they force to send funds. Even this is a failure attack by the LTTE, you can't ignore them and you must send your funds since there is a news in the internet.

So this is the best place to express your anger and satisfy yourself.

Pranthapura..

Unknown said...

The implications are prety much nothing, SLA will now use Civilian's ships to transports their military stuffs, or Pakistan will let them borrow one.

Either way, its a mental blow for SLA already getting prepared to runaway from Jaffna

A.K.Paranthaman said...

moshe,
I respect your views. I can argue on that.
Lets understand and why there is a fight till today?
Cant we find a solution in the indonasian model? We can do it in 2 days if there is a political will. But in south no body will do this because, they have to survive politically. To survive politically, they need to wage some war.
Think why ltte was formed. How many struggles (peaceful struggles) happened before that? In a modern country except the islamist countries,is there suppression against any people any where? Take a neighbour India, Muslims, buddhists, christians all living together even though then and there there are problems.
Why the government need land powers? Which government has got the land power at the central level in the world? It all lies with provinces or states?
Why are our politicains do not change? Ask these questions within yourself first and ask the politicians. Until then SL would be a failed state.
Today every one is talking about India saying it is trying to bully SL. But without their help, 350 pilots & engineers help, did we do all the things by ourselves?
India does not have spinal cord, otherwise, the Indians will not get hit every where across the globe.
Anyway, try and think why even today we are not able to tolerate comments against us.
LTTE would have killed other Tamilians, but the others are who????
Why SLA has killed thousands of JVP cadres? Did they ask any seperate country?

Tamil Rebels Target Sri Lankan ships loaded with military hardware

[Wednesday, 2008-10-22 03:07:36]
Tamil Tiger rebels carried out a suicide attack on two Sri Lankan ships off the northern Jaffna peninsula early today.
The vessels beleived to be carrying supplies to military in the north, where the military is attacking the remaining bases of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
LTTE rebels rammed an explosives-laden boat into one of the vessels outside the port of Kankasanthurai, sinking it, Agence France-Presse reported, citing an unidentified defense official. A second vessel also came under attack and damaged very badly.


WHICH ONE IS TRUE?

Bhathiya said...

Lankapura,
No My friend i'm not angry with tamils n sory 4 my previous comment.. i Was frying with angry by seeing the comments of M/F.Kaavalan and M/F A.K.Paranthaman in this morning.
FUCKERS GET RID OF US AND LINE WITH YOUR SIDE(TAMILNUT).

A.K.Paranthaman said...

The political will is more important. MR is thinking that only military solution possible. Dont say he is ready to speak with LTTE. Those words are only for the external world.
But he and Fonseka are very well aware that there is no military solution. Dont argue that LTTE has never kept promises during cease fire period.
These are all the arguments everyone hears every day. But as people who have sixth sense try and think. It is not the LTTE which has gone out of the talks. It had been forced.
And srilankan government pulled out of CFA. During the CFA why did SLA went for recruitment drive not once but atleast 4 to 5 times? If this is known, then you expect LTTE to sit idle? They also had gone for strngthening their military. Mavil aru problem was a big problem? No, it was a reason to start a war. If the governmnet was committed to peace even after that incident, government should have shown restraint. But we all read newspapers and sites where 95% of information is distorted and keep thumping for the SLA victory.

How many soldiers have dies so far? you are talking about sacrifices? Have you thought about their families once? If the soldier is the bread winner, what is the situation of that family? why are the politicians not thinking on those lines?

dsk said...

to Mr.Kaavalan,
"LTTE or TamilNet has not yet released any figure or mentioned about this, all I can tell you is, when the Sri Lankan defense ministry hurry and release the news first, that means something BAD happened and they want to divert the story. That has always been the history."
you might be right,but also remember these were civilian ships carrying supplies to civilians in Jaffan,"which was carrying essential supplies",as Paranthaman's post said.for CIVILIANS in Jaffna. Navy and SLAF can continue to deliver supplies to the military inclding food.so try to remind yourself of the faces of the people in Jaffna, and the price hikes that could result.

Moshe Dyan said...

akp,

there are 2 seperate issues here.

1. terrorist problem - this DIRECTLY affects 100% sri lankans & even outsiders

2. "ethnic" problem - affects 9% (<<<<) population.

while #1 has a MILITARY solution, ANNIHILATION to be specific, #2 has a political solution within a UNITARY SL.

the government NEED NOT have the political will to solve it TOTALLY politically as PEOPLE wants #1 solved militarily and #2 politically.

got it?

government is ONLY executing the ppl's wishes.

PLUS war has other benefits WHEN SL wins it.

e.g. today 94% population is trapped into just 65% land and have access to ONLY 25% coastline. this is not good for the development of sri lankans AS A WHOLE.

dsk said...

ship "Ruhuna" had cement, destioned for people in Jaffna so they can build their houses and shops. anybody who is building a house would know how difficult it is these days, without LLTE intefering to make things worse

Vanni Tamil said...

Its looks like civilian ship used for militry hardware.
Check TamilNewsWorld.com. May be just speculations

Nisal said...

Dear Moshe, Moratu Saman, rana and others,

Let these peelamists to enjoy their selves since they have nothing to enjoy these days.

Soon, we'll see pics and videos of our vessels and the captured LPPE boat (lol). Let's wait and see.

CriMeWatCh said...

oops

you might be right,but also remember these were civilian ships carrying supplies to civilians in Jaffan,"which was carrying essential supplies",

DSK ur right...You are the one of them who loaded essential foods neda meya. thanks for informing us

just kidn..

Moshe Dyan said...

akp,

i have experience of the sufferings of families of soldiers in SL and israel. but i can only imagine their sufferings and the sufferings of millions of others IF nations surrender to terrorist demands.

on the other hand i have no sympathy/regard for terrorists and families of terrorists. they deserve hell as they say in TA.

please don't stop the annihilation of terrorists/seperatists. let SLDFs do it. we can discuss a political solution thereafter.

Moshe Dyan said...

nihara & nisal,

cheers, mates.

Guns&Roses said...

IF both what defencewire and defence .lk sayings are true,if only one ahip is slightly damage if it was a supply ship which was carrying essential supplies to the CIVILIANS in Noth

they should not hasitate to shoew the pictures of Damges ship and unharmed ship to the poblic

otherwise we have to go with Tamilnet

and have to assume they both were distrpyed and they were carrying supplies to the SLA

If the ships were carrying weapons, the Navy would have provided additional cover by deploying several FACs.

But according to what has been reported so far, there had been no FACs in the vicinity and only the Naval Personnel onboard the ships were available to protect it.

LTTE is desperate for a show-off.. they just found them selves a soft target!

Interestingly, they knew that they could always market this attack to the stupid pro-LTTE tamil diaspora as attacking a "Military Cargo Vessel"!

Good try, but not good enough...

Hardware can always be replaced... but not human lives!

Malin said...

Even if both Ships are completely destroyed there is nothing going to change in this war, But I believe looking at the info one ship might have got damaged heavily and even might have sunk. Let that be because this is war and 100% defence is not possible.

Important fact how will this affect ongoing war? My guess is very minimum. And we can replace with another ship and with provisions.

And Kaavalan please go and multiply oversea.. Sad thing is if you stay in another country for few generations mostly like children would mingle with the native people in that country and will not want to have anything to do with this war. If I put it simply thangachies would prefer some white ass instead of your black ass.. :)

Dear Mr.A.K.Paranthaman

My name is Mr. A.R. AmmaGahai. Hi, how r u ? U don’t believe it? So be it.

Anyway my friend, I was hospitalized for last 2 days due to Sevier vomiting and diarrhea due to absorption of high-dose of crap from the Intelligent Tamil race write in this blog. I am still in a kind of comma after reading ur post!

My style of writing is bit different but I will try my best to answer ur question u put to Moshe. Hope Moshe don’t mind and hope u won’t mind too. Unlike the Intelligent Tamils who thinks that they are born to correct Sinhala modaya, I am not trying to correct u but giving u some facts.

A.K. “Cant we find a solution in the Indonasian model?”

AG. Yes we can! Do u think VP will agree to any thing other than Tamil only Tamil Eellam?

A.K: “But in south no body will do this because, they have to survive politically. To survive politically, they need to wage some war”

AG: What type of politics in the north u have these days? OOOps? Wrong question!!

A.K.” Think why ltte was formed”

AG: U don’t need to ask this question, u only have to type this in Google and there u’ll get the answers. If u like different answer/opinion to what u think is the answer, pls ask this question from Wijayapala in this blog.

A.K. “In a modern country except the islamist countries,is there suppression against any people any where?

AG: Yes actually every where! Surprised? Do u wanna Google it?
In Australia indigenous aborigines are still complain/accuse Australian gov in range of discriminations. U want examples? Google it and find out urfelf*
In US, African Americans and Hispanics and indigenous people have accuse gov over range of discrimination issues.- *
India: Kashmeer issue, Panjab, and I was told by some TN too
Malaysia: Tamils are not happy there too! Surprise!!!
Indonesia: East Timor issue and Jawa
Russia: Geoegia recently and so many other places
Israel: Palestine rings bells to u?
Sweeden: Sweden has not signed the UN declaration for the indigenous peoples rights*
Finland: has completely denied any aboriginal rights or land rights*

Do u want me to keep going?


A.K “Why the government need land powers?”

AG. Is that a question? Why the fcuk u want a government then?

A.K. “Which government has got the land power at the central level in the world?”

AG. Eeerrrrr… u got me here machan… I think all central governments have got the land power over any state or local gov. Very recently Australian central gov gave ultimatum to Vic gov to agree to proposed buy back water scheme of Murray-Darling river or they will do it by force! Yep.. Google it pls


A.K. Take a neighbour India, Muslims, buddhists, christians all living together even though then and there there are problems

AG: r u fcuking kidding me??? Ur not hey?… yes … same in Colombo or Galle or Kandy. I know there are no Buddhists and Muslims in Vanni or Kili!

A.K. “Why are our politicians do not change? Until then SL would be a failed state”

AG: Have ur’s changed? Or do u have any? SL will be failed unless Sinhala and Muslim and Tamil politicians get together and work out a solution. Can u get one Tamil or LTTE politician to get VP off the gun?

A.K. “LTTE would have killed other Tamilians, but the others are who????”

AG: Again is this a question? Can u pls fcuking Google it next time?

A.K. : “Why SLA has killed thousands of JVP cadres? Did they ask any seperate country?”

AG: No silly! They asked for the whole fcuking country! I am glad the country didn’t end up with a bunch of monkeys! And hope we liberate the rest of the country from the LTTE monkeys too!

A.K. : “India does not have spinal cord”

AG: yep… at least u recon u have one! Try telling it to India if u have one! : ))

Hi Guys,

I can't believe this Paranthan, Kaavalan etc crowd. Now they are talking about Indonisian model., earlier they were talking about bosnian, Indian, Canada...etc. They are investigating all models in the world without thinking how to live with peace and harmony.

I don't think their nationalism, racisim or hegamonism or what ever it is, What is wrong with these people.

They can't live in tamil naadu, migrating to other places like sri lanka, fiji, south africa etc etc and start political work to become ministers and then asking for a self determination, independency and separate country etc etc.

They have become a virus to the world population.

No point trying to enlighten these salamanders ...... they will always believe what they want to believe....no matter logic/ facts might say. Brain dead they will remain my Sri Lankan brothers.

Sunk? Military shipment? Answers to all these questions will come out soon. Till then I'm more than happy to accommodate these salamanders....harmless lot.

DW,

Dialog continues to provide its satellite phone service which is independant of the GSM, CDMA, and land based telephone system (think its called Thuraya). Since this service is GEO satellite based, this CANNOT be turned off at will, even by Dialog.

The key here for MI would be for close coordination with Dialog technicians (possibly infiltrated by LTTE from my OWN experience) for call intercepts and monitoring of conversations originating/terminating from a particular range of coordinates, such as the Wanni.

Would appreciate any info. that is in the public domain that you could provide.

Tamil Nadu and the LTTEby Stephen Long, Los Angeles

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi addressing a massive public rally demands decisive action on Sri Lanka.

An exclusive private meeting that was held in the early 1980s in Sacramento, California, has recently come to my attention. This gathering of approximately five hundred wealthy, influential Tamil expatriates from around the world charted the course for the LTTE, and developed a strategic plan for using it as a vehicle for establishing a Tamil homeland. The motivation was the fact that there were nearly one hundred million ethnic Tamils scattered throughout the globe, but alas, there was no independent sovereign state they could call their own.

These members of the elite Tamil Diaspora felt that they were "step-children" wherever they lived, and their low collective self-esteem determined that it needed a nationalist sentiment with which to identify. They decided that only by having a separate, mono-racial country could they improve their self-esteem, regardless of the fact that all of them were successful professionals who had made material fortunes in their adoptive countries. They felt inferior as "second class citizens" and they wanted a piece of the global pie to make them feel equal and whole.

They chose to take on the struggle of the LTTE against the Sri Lankan government because they couldn’t find another solution anywhere else in the world. Even though Tamil Nadu is the real ethnic homeland of the Tamils, a civil war against India for a secessionist state held no hope at the time. They also realised that to go up against the governments of Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, or any of the European countries would be futile. The very thought is ridiculous to the extreme.

By proximity and by opportunity, they focused on Sri Lanka as the place where they felt they had their best chance to fulfil their nationalist ambitions. By "opportunity" I mean that the conditions were better there than anywhere else. There was the general disorganisation of the Sri Lankan government at the time, and the fact that Sri Lanka had been home to tens of thousands of ethnic Tamils for nearly one thousand years. They also knew that they could take advantage of the existing bitterness between the Sri Lankan Tamil factions that were based on caste and education.

Religion played its part in this decision as well. The Catholic Church had long been the religion of many of the Jaffna Tamils, and a large percentage of the priesthood was made up of men of Tamil origin. This elite group in Sacramento knew they could get support from this ecclesiastical organisation if they promised some sort of reciprocity as part of their end game. Catholic Church history is filled with similar arrangements that closely mirror this model, and many of the members of the Tamil Diaspora were now assimilated Christians in their new countries. Fundamental Christianity also played a part in this developing drama, but at a later date with its marauding missionaries.

I have begun to suspect that the meeting in Sacramento went a step further in identifying its real end game: a unified Tamil Eelam with pieces of it in both Sri Lanka and India – in Tamil Nadu to be specific. If the LTTE was able to establish a separate, sovereign Tamil state in Sri Lanka then it would be a perfect launching pad for coordinating the same thing in Tamil Nadu. Funds and arms flowing into the region from other countries could be supplied to Indian rebels over the Palk Straights unobstructed and with ease from a Tamil state in Sri Lanka – much in the same way weaponry and financial supplies have flowed for the past twenty five years, but in the other direction.

Ethnic conflict in India could be easily fomented with enough arms and money pouring in non-stop and un-curtailed from wealthy Tamils around the world, and the Indian government would be faced with a situation similar to breakaway civil wars in other parts of the globe. Tamil Nadu could easily become another Pakistan or Bangladesh. Perish the thought.

The current furore over the Tamil Nadu political position on the war against the LTTE in Sri Lanka is easy to figure out when you think about it. It is to the best advantage of the Tamil Nadu politicians to keep the war going, and to have the Indian federal government step in to persuade the Government of Sri Lanka to halt its operations – ostensibly for peace talks and humanitarian concerns. As in the past, this would give the LTTE an opportunity to re-load for yet another assault on the people of Sri Lanka, and the world goes round and round.

The establishing of a separate Tamil state in Sri Lanka is crucial if this idealised, unified Tamil end game is to be realised. The only way this will happen is if the GOSL succumbs to Tamil Nadu pressure and halts the war, or if the federal government of India succumbs to Tamil Nadu pressure just to keep its fragile coalition alive. Or, both. The two sovereign governments need to stay their course at this point, realising that ending the war against the LTTE is in both of their best interests for both the short and the long terms.

I hope that the Prime Minister of India might consider the possibility of an eventual Tamil Nadu uprising, and by doing so realise that if he wants to keep India in tact, the LTTE insurgency in Sri Lanka must be crushed. I also hope that Dr. Singh will begin investigating possible links between the LTTE’s assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, and the Tamil Nadu politicians headed by Mr. Karunanidhi. I feel that looking for these links has never been taken seriously, but the time has come.

I congratulate Mr. Rukman Senanayake, the president of the United National Party in Sri Lanka on subscribing to the GOSL’s position on finishing the war against terrorists, and for his opposition to the popular Tamil Nadu political perspective, which is pushing for a halt to the war. I admire him for putting country first – and party second. I hope that Mr. Ranil Wickremesinge will wise up and follow his party president by adopting this intelligent view.

Peace has never been so close. I urge the Government of Sri Lanka to continue its excellent job of ridding the country of terrorists and their merciless suicide bombers. You’re getting closer than you ever have been before. Be strong. Don’t give the LTTE a single inch. Get Prabhakaran.

CriMeWatCh said...

Tamil Tiger rebels struck back against a major Sri Lankan government offensive Wednesday with suicide attacks against merchant ships off the island's northern coast, defence officials said.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rammed the MV Ruhuna and MV Nimalawa, involved in supplying the besieged Jaffna peninsula, with three boats packed with explosives.

The ethnic guerrillas also fought a sea battle with naval units defending the port of Kankesanthurai on the peninsula.

"One of the merchant vessels -- MV Nimalawa -- is sinking and the other vessel was damaged," a defence official who declined to be named said.

He said at least six Tiger rebels may have perished in the attack. It was not immediately clear if there were casualties among the crew of the ships.

Jaffna is controlled by government forces, but cut off from the rest of the island by LTTE-held territory and supplied entirely by ship or plane.

The peninsula, captured from the LTTE in 1995, is of major symbolic and strategic value to the Sri Lankan government: it is the birthplace of Tiger leader Velupillai Prabhakaran, and enables government troops to attack the rebels from the north and south.

The defence ministry painted the attack as "another cowardly attempt by the terrorists to deny essential supplies to the civilians living in war-affected areas."

The ministry said sailors protecting the merchant vessels had opened fire on the Tiger suicide boats, and destroyed two.

"However, one of the suicide boats exploded in close proximity to Nimalawa causing considerable damage to the ship's hull," it said. A defence official said naval reinforcements had been rushed to the area.

A form of defence against these partially submerged suicide boats would be explosives detonated underwater. Instead of firing machine guns at the boat, one large depth charge within a 100 meter radius would take care of their brains.

balaguru,

Yes. I also was thinking in same line. This suicide carder seems very unlucky since he couldn't come even close to the Vessel. One lucky bullet is good enough.

Lankapura said...

balaguru,
One suicide craft exploding probably would have sunk an FAC. With a large vessel it seems to have just caused some damage to the exterior. May be lucky that two were blown up by the gunners.

lankaputhra said...

he he he How Tamilnet is reporting!

another waste of unmarried Tamil women lives....

Sea Tigers sink Sri Lankan supply ship
[TamilNet, Wednesday, 22 October 2008, 08:10 GMT]
Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) Sea Tigers on Wednesday claimed that they carried out a Black Tiger attack on Sri Lankan ship MV Nimalawa, which carried military and other supplies, in Sri Lankan naval harbour in Kankeasnthu'rai in Jaffna Wednesday morning around 5:00 a.m. Another supply ship, MV Ruhunuwa, sustained heavy damage, the Tigers said.

The Tiger mission was led by Black Sea Tiger Lt. Col. Ilakkiyaa, the deputy commander of the Sea Tigers' female wing, who sacrificed her life with Black Sea Tiger Commando Lt. Col. Kuperan, LTTE officials told TamilNet.

shay said...

"Small doubt...SLN FACs itself not effective against these LTTE suicide boats.Then how come these merchent ships were able to counter attack & destroyed the suicide boats!?!??"

The contraption shown in the pictures looks tiny (relative to the size of the FAC shown in the picture). Unlike FAC's which have very thin aluminium hulls, commercial ships are made of plate steel. Something that small will hardly damage it. Even if it blew a hole in the hull, a ship that size could survive if the hold is compartmentalised and they manage to contain the flooding.

Hey Ezam Zamils you Idiots should be shiting in your pants right now,
Becouse do you know anything about the cargo in those ships?
Do you realy think it's food items?

You Choose:

1/ Food Items and medicines.
2/ Heavy ammo such as MBRL Shells and newly aquird Tanks.
3/ Soldiers to start offencives from Muhamalai and Nagarkovil.
4/ All of the Above

So what is your answer?


Oh..also both ships made it to there destination.

Pundeyeelam said...

Just Imagine once Muhamalai and Nagarkovil becomes offencive like 58 and 57?
ZTTE must divide there manpower by 7 .

Mohammed Zubair said...

Tamilnut is reporting 100% truth as the sole voice of LTTE. The suicide mission was ultra successful. The pictures posted on defence.lk are photoshopped fakes, the ships did sink and one is heavily damaged, Kate Winslet and Leonardo Di'Caprio were onboard too.

Kithul said...

these pro ltte'rs are like kids, trying to portray a failed mission as something accomplished.

just as 'pundey' both ships made t to the destination, so what does it matter what it was carrying.

the bottomline is the ltte mission failed and they now can't carry even suicide mission without information leaking out.

i don't think patriots need worry about arguing with these no braners, the point has been proven with photographic evidence.

thiru said...

so first your incompetant navy commander coughs up th truth about heavy damages to the ship and then changes his mind as soon as he receives some photoshopped pictures which may have been taken much before the attack itself. You modhayas really don't get it do you, ur government is hoodwinking you without revealing real battlefield losses-the whole world knows that! You modhaya take the same path every time until ur back gets broken and then turn on ur government and hope for another idiot to come in, the same shit that happened when Chandrika took jaffna, every one of you started jizzing prematurely and then look what happened after then you threw her out like the whore she was and now are pinning your hopes on MR the MF, so wait and in time the truth will come out again.

Kithul said...

thiru

oh yes, the navy knew of the suicide attack yesterday and took pohtographs - what are you talking man.

tell us who has been hoodwinked and who is hodwinking whom. you people still think th ltte is not losing ground, men and material. The Sri Lankan govt. says the army is far more superior and is destroying a terrorist operation further more they tell us the ltte is on the run.

ok now give us the answer

Malin said...

Do you really think that if one of these ship is sunk that poeple wont find out. Its not all army personal who work in the habours specially colombo habour if one of the ships is sunk somehow poeple would get to know. (assuming these ship left from colombo)

Point is even if govermnet wanted they would not be able to hide it. But this time it seem we got lucky somehow and managed to kill the crew of one or two boats thus minimizing the damange.

Thiru & Real.. there are times when operation wont go the way you want. this applies to both parties several months LTTE sank one ship in Trinco habour but this times looks like its failed attempt.

If you can give more prove than the defnce lk has then show otherwise shut the fuck up

Apino Dannachess said...

Dear Eisenstein Thiru.....

Yeah yeah, like I suggested earlier, this is a Photoshop job done on 31 September 08. Came in handy didn't it. Luck Navy commander know!

What else can we do bro...than wait. And we Sri Lankans will keep waiting till the country is cleared of pestilence.

If you cannot wait, suggest you create your Eelam real fast and I'm sure you know the road map for that. That way you can put an end to our waiting mate.

So please tell me how you will reverse the current land grab and reverse all the LTTE losses.....

Pardon me my friend, as I know from our Govt news sources, LTTE had lost East, Mannar and about to loose N'Kuda and Kili. And they say they have killed Tamil Chelvam and many other leaders too.Like you say all these can be govt propaganda to fool we Sri Lankans. Happy to be corrected mate. Please let us know the truth man. Least we can do is to get ready for the forthcoming loss of North & East.

there's a photograph of the LTTE suicide boat captured by the navy on navy.lk

can you pl tell us more about it. loos uite piece. is it explosive laden or is the suicide cadre carrying the explosive on himslef

TigerKiller said...

Thanks DW for update .

in short

Now even LTTE's Suicide carders are very low in quality and our armed forces know how to react Suicide attacks instantaneously .

So be proud to have a armed forces which reduced the success rate of even suicide bombers .

shay said...

Shan,

The explosives are contained in the front of the boat, inside the canister like thing which forms the bow. Previously they have even used one or multiple artillery shells as the suicide bomb. The two black tipped things on top are likely to be impact fuzes.

I haven't seen a suicide boat like this before. Its much smaller than the normal type, only one small engine. It doesn't even look like a normal boat. Most likely the components were smuggled in and assembled on the peninsula. It would have been difficult to sail something this small all the way from LTTE areas to KKS.

Saman said...

Guys,

Is it true about the speculation that air missions were holted due to pressure and a threat from India

Mohammed Zubair said...

Karuna said that the best suicide cadres came from the east, present suicide cadres are northern and vanni recruits, this explains why the recent suicide attacks have gone up in smoke, literally!

Mohammed Zubair said...

Saman,

Not true, prevailing weather conditions are not ideal for bombing runs, nothing to do with pressure from Yindiya. Most ordnance would go astray under current weather conditions. Mi-24s are still in action and are providing adequate CAS (we are purposely keeping quite about these missions).

shay said...

Shan,

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this was homemade on the peninsula. Its a type of homemade catamaran hull. Very simple. Seems to be a central cylindrical section (with the explosives) with two outriggers made of some plastic cylinders held together by a few cross sections. The deck seems to be some sort of plastic material. The engine is very small, probably a 25hp fishing engine.

Its very unlikely that something as small/underpowered as this can be used out in the open sea against a FAC. They would have made this purely for attacking a slow moving ship near to the harbour.

about the suicide boats,

These definitely are new designs. Not the traditional Idian-class. They are smaller, lower to the water and are definitely FRP technology. Perhaps manned by one man, the boats have only one outboard engine, which perhaps indicates stealth, rather than speed and maneuverability. Very interesting design.

Tamilnet Claim:

"Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) Sea Tigers on Wednesday claimed that they carried out a Black Tiger attack on Sri Lankan ship MV Nimalawa, which carried military and other supplies, in Sri Lankan naval harbour in Kankeasnthu'rai in Jaffna Wednesday morning around 5:00. The supply ship was sunk and another vessel, MV Ruhunuwa, sustained heavy damage, the Tigers said".

******** MV Nimalawa is sunk!!!!: (See pics):

Tamil Tigers strike back with ship attacks
by Amal Jayasinghe COLOMBO (AFP)
Tamil Tiger rebels struck back against a major Sri Lankan government offensive Wednesday with suicide attacks against merchant ships off the island's northern coast, defence officials said.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rammed the MV Ruhuna and MV Nimalawa, involved in supplying the besieged Jaffna peninsula, with three boats packed with explosives.

The ethnic guerrillas also fought a sea battle with naval units defending the port of Kankesanthurai on the peninsula.

"One of the merchant vessels -- MV Nimalawa -- is sinking and the other vessel was damaged," a defence official who declined to be named said.

He said at least six Tiger rebels may have perished in the attack. It was not immediately clear if there were casualties among the crew of the ships.........

moratusaman,

Interesting to note that janes has taken note of this. Last year we did a similar story about FRP technology transfer. Please see

e.n.b,
This man Amal Jayasinghe has been consistently exaggerating losses. His last serious blunder that I can remember is the figure of 180+ he gave of casualties in Muhamalai, Kilali and Nagarkovil. This time though there are pictures to prove the ships were safe. But its difficult to get pictures like this all the time so some folks getaway. The other issue is government hiding the truth which is also serious. This time around they won and they quickly get the pictures out.

was it the lack of speed that made it possible for SLN to succesful gun them. so if detected the stealth part of it is useless and lack of speed will be a severe disadvantage.

DW,

They have used a similar type before.
Semi-submersible, low silhouette, one man, small low HP OBM with a torpedo like central explosive unit with impact detonator spikes.

But they too failed, and one or two were captured :) looks like this was a narrow miss like last time.

But as you said, it shows a clear shift in strategy and naval patrols should take note, I guess we can’t double the lookouts as we already have guy’s scanning 360 throughout patrols. but if these new ones are used in numbers as lay-in-wait packs.. We might need to change our patrol doctrine. And possibly equip lookout with hand held thermal sights ($8~14k each) but this could be a costly but necessary affair if it come to that.

Due to the lack of on call & constant costal air surveillances the navy will have to depend on the sailor’s vigilance since radar would most likely not pick these targets up easily. So the hand held thermals might be a good option. You can use them on land as well.

Defencewire said...

shan,

Definitely. The purpose for going stealth is because you don't want to be seen until the vest last moment. The Indian design is based purely on speed and was mainly the sea tigers answer to the Dvora and the UFAC. As far as large cargo vessels are concerned, these tactics are no longer effective. This is because the SLN recently changed tactics of operating larger, slow-moving vessels to go deeper and deeper into high seas and then come back in towards the harbour. The Tigers were right in trying to engage them in the outer harbour area for this is where they are vulnerable to attack. Kind of like the take-off and landing of a jumbo jet. They slow down and enter shallower waters ahead and there's usually plenty of civilian activity in this area.

The recent tactics to use high seas and enter shallower parts on very briefly at the beginning and end has evidently rendered the fast suicide boat maneuvering of the sea tigers a poof. They can still be effective when they attack in clusters in shallower waters. But the SLN's arrow boats and sbs boats operate in clusters alongside IPCs and Dvoras and UFACs. This too is a potential delimiting factor for them.

nemesis,
I must admit, this is the first time I've seen this boat. I am not aware of its operational history against us, though similar models were discovered by ground troops on a few occasions.

The design is very flimsy and does not look at all robust. My guess is that the OBE is used during the final phase of the attack to ram the detonation cones against the hull. For the most part the boat would move stealthily under cover of darkness perhaps like a manned engine-less glider would do in the sky. I am sure LTTE used a dummy before the attack somewhere in KKS or Trinco to test it out before the attack to see if it gets noticed. The fishing restrictions may have indeed saved the two ships.

AssRajiv,

Why a change of attitude all of a sudden from your Avatar to writing? Perhaps, you already know how LTTE is going to end up? Eventhough it takes so much of destruction for you to be convinced that the neverland Eelam is a cause untrue, i am very glad to see a total moronic LTTE diehards like you changing the attitude. Perhaps, you get it since we speak the only language you have the ability to understand from your racist brainwashed child soldier roots.

Cheers!!

what a funny answer..man did u see even in BBC...it says one ship was badly damaged..where is the damaged ship in the pics.. if LTTE can play with photoshop, why can SLN work on it..

Ok AssRajiv aka #1-hikpula,

You are back and I am sad, but this time with the postfix hikpula. Now that is a fitting name for you in colloquial Sinhalese and it goes well with your old name AssRajiv.

assasinrajive,

We watched nightly news today on Rupavahini. The ship was only slightly damaged, not sunk.

It's Tamilpunnakkunet garbage that says the ship was sunk.

However, we must evenge this attack. My advise is to bombard whole of Kilinochchi as revenge. Also, line up all the Harbour workers and shoot them if they don't point any terrorists.

Hi Ruwani,

We are not LTTE. We don't take revange. Yes we fight...... but a fair war. In short... WE ARE DIFFERENT.

Defencewire said...

Nimalawa unloaded its cargo at Mailaddy they went to KKS. SLN sources said a press briefing was organized at 3pm today which was attended by Cdr Navy where details were given including pictures etc.

Judging by some of the comments left behind by our pro-LTTE Tamil comrades, we'd say they are pretty desperate for some positive news, anything for that matter, from the LTTE! This is understandable considering the Tigers have been able to attack only unarmed retired generals and slightly bruise civilian cargo vessels. It is a fraction of what the Tigers propped themselves up to be.

Well done Navy . We are proud of you !!

DW..
can u answer me .?
even BBC reported one ship was damaged badly quoting defence sources. but this ship was not seen in any pics published today..so then where is that badly damage one..? or else u mean to say BBC also lied?

Unknown said...

mrbrown,

If you want to believe BBC, we are not goint to stop you.SLN/Defence given photo and they have given photo of towed suicide boat on the beach.
In the morning BBC/AL Jazeera all went saying ltte pigs managed to sink one and damaged other ship.When they realised what really happened ,even they don,t like they change the story.
Your happiness short lived,what to do??????
I am pretty sure ltte cameramen was hiding near KKs to give photo coverage but unfortunately they couldn,t get good photos.
Sure there were two loud explosions.It happened when this ltte pig boats blasted with our boys firing.
Guys,
Killi express slowed down but not stopped.SLAF jets cannot operate, not because of no fly zone dreamed by ltte f...ers.Because of rain wanni is cloudy.So why should jets go and waste time.Wait for the clear sky.You peelamists are really dreaming.Keep dreaming.
Thundering typhoon............
mrbrown and other peelamists,pls ask TN to provide photos of sinking ship and then we believe TN and other peelam news.
SLN i think its a price catch.You guys can do some studies and come up with some solution how to tacle it.
