Paranthan falls

Paranthan fell to troops today following a surprising pre-dawn strike led by 2 Commando, 10GR etc. troops of the 58 Division. By this evening, the entire area was cleared.

Several successive waves of attackers, led by LTTE's Kilinochchi Military in-charge Velavan was beaten back. The open terrain and Villu that lay between troops and the well defended LTTE fortifications were suddenly crossed in the darkness of the morning.

The last attack came this evening. 8 bodies of Tigers were recovered. The attackers were mainly from the Imran Pandian unit, which is led by Velavan.

With this latest defeat, Muhamalai will become untenable for the LTTE. Troops now have the opportunity to attack Kilinochchi from the north and the northeast. That town too is expected to fall in January.

Patriots,

I believe that this is the Navy video of LTTE air attack on Kellanitissa. Watch it in high resolution mode

Asithri said...

OK, got to run now...

Got to watch a video...just got the full video of the "future minds of Jaffna 2008" and I am told there are some cool stuff in it (e.g. like some cool dances from some pretty Jaffna/South Indian chicks!)...

Catch you patriots later...

Once again, I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

OaO Asithri

Moshe and others,

If we draw a circle on the map with SL as the center and 6300 Km as radius do we get closer to any LTTP friendly country?

Wishing peaceful new year to all!

LTTE is running out of options. What would be their exit strategy? To keep the morale of the followers, they will claim to make a comeback after lying low for a while. However, it will be very hard to 'lie low' in the island. There will be more than strength in the forces and the paramilitary to seek and destroy even from the deepest of jungles of Mulativu. The civilian support will cease as they lose grip. No more income locally from various business ventures. Even though some claim the LTTE will resort to guerrilla warfare, this is unlikely to last long.

Their only hope is moving overseas. An 'Eelam govt' in exile from UK has already been discussed. However the EU and other countries will not encourage a banned teror org in their soil. Tamil Nadu is out of the question. Prabakran and the top brass will flee to a country with a supportive diaspora and where it still hasnt been banned. Therefore it has to be somewhere like South Africa, Fiji even Australia where LTTE is still not proscribed.

Prabakran is a coward and he will not want to die or commit suicide. He will try to escape most probably via Mulativu seas across to somewhere like Thailand then onwards to Australia where he may seek political asylum. During late 80s Balasingham was smuggled out of Vanni to Thailand then to UK. They may chose to fly out, but this may be considered to risky. If they do fly out, they may take a sea plane somewhere close to Male and from there to South Africa.

guys,

i'm really sorry. please forgive me for this. accidently i had given the SAME link.

ananda,

b4 i respond to you i checked my error.

repost. corected.

URGET ATTENTION REQUIRED!

looks like some sakkili barbarians had tried to get chemical weapons from pushchino in russia to vanni directly on board either an an-12 or a y-9 plane.

1. look at what pushchino, a very small town, is famous for.

look in the last paragraph in the "history" section

"Beginning of 2000s: Academician "A.S." proposed new biological warfare program "Biological Shield of Russia" to president Vladimir Putin. The program reportedly includes institutes of Russian Academy of Sciences from Pushchino"


2. look where they were planning to travel.

from p to k!

some sakkiliya had used this to calculate the time it takes to travel the distance from there to kili with the average speed of 800 km/h. it was calculated to be 7 hours which means the distance is roughly 5,635 km.

AN-12 or Y-9 can do it. but.....

3. remember LTTE expanded it's runway last year to accomodate larger planes?

4. put 1, 2 & 4 together.

LTTE will be making a mistake if they even consider using chem-bio-nuclear. If they do, Indian military will get involved and quicken their demise. India and other superpowers will not take a risk with a non-state actor involved in WMD regardless of any local ethnic sensitivities.

Moshe Dyan said...

crimewatch,

take a look at MOST of the victims.

aren't they within the "age of military service"?

take away the guns, remove the uniform, any tiger would look like a civilian, even vezapillai.

anyway according to the geneva convention, if a civilian localoty is used for military purposes, it becomes a legitimate target.

TF LTTE cannot hide behind the geneva convention anymore. only option is to let ppl go.

ppl also should understand that they can't be protecting the sorry arses of tiger cowards. they have their own arses to protect!!!

Your scenario is possible, but unlikely in my opinion.

My guess is that he will go to Tamil Nadu, where he enjoys support at the highest levels, and at the lowest level. I believe his advance guard went there in those boats found abandoned on Tamil Nadu beaches, to prepare for the move. I expect multiple hideouts/safe houses with cover stories and support networks have already been setup. He may already be there.

However powerful the Central Govt. of India is, people from outside the state will not be able to overwhelm the broad-based local support, led by Karunanhidi, Ramadoss, Vaiko, Thirumavalavan and others. The real danger to VP in TN will be from Congress party supporters like Jayalalitha, who want to use this lever to eject Karunanhidi and the DMK from power. I expect the presence in TN of VP to pose a real threat to lives of Jayalalitha and other AIADMK and Congress party leaders, especially in the context of the upcoming national elections in India. I expect multiple assasinations, orchestrated by VP if he succeeds in establishing himself.

Mighty Brahma, the creator and destroyer of worlds, in his infinite wisdom, has chosen Velupillai Prabhakaran as the instrument of his wondrous and poetic justice; justice for the awful pain, suffering and death inflicted upon the people of Sri Lanka, by these rabble-rousing, unpatriotic, seditious Indian supporters of the Greater Dravidian Nation!

Moshe Dyan said...

panhinda,

nuke - definitely YES

bio - not a definite yes, depending on the capabilities

chemical - not a definite yes, depending on the capabilities. may well be a "no".

the same was told about the TAF but nothing much happened other than helping SL a little bit.

but i agree that it will be BIG mistake on the part of the LTTE.

Mosquito,

You are very cynical person. Earlier you wanted to score quick points with patriotss, so you came up with some rubbish of chemical weapons which LTTE is planning to bring into Wanni. No wonder you are veteran modaya resident analyst.

Moshe Dyan said...

AS EXPECTED TF1 moving southwards towards kili.

from defence.lk

"Victorious troops of Task Force 1 on aggressive advances towards the heart of Kilinochchi have reported another victory against LTTE terrorists by gaining control over the Karadipokku junction located between Paranthan and Kilinochchi along the A-9 main road by last evening, 01 January.

The Karadipokku junction is the northern edge of the Kilinochchi garrison and troops continued their advance from Paranthan to Kilinochchi captured this strategically vital place giving early signs of fall of Kilinochchi.

According to the latest information received from the front said LTTE's well-famous "93 Base", the main command and administrative centre of LTTE female cadres, is also now under army's control."

Ananda,

/*

*/

If he tries hard enough, I guess he can survive anywhere. He may chose TN. The things that are working against him are organisations such as RAW which has tentacles running everywhere. His support mainly come from one side of politics, namely MDMK and low caste parties. AIDMK and many other influential parties will want to punish him for killing Rajiv. Therefore he may have around 50% chance of getting caught. Whereas, he does not have any enimies who hate him enough to kill him in places like South Africa.

Moshe Dyan said...

bloodyrav,

if i wanted to be popular or to score points here, would i use filth????

most bloggers don't like filth.

so if i were to be popular, i would always go after them calling them dear, ayya, malli, nangi, akka, appa, amma, ammamma, chiththi, putti, periyamma, chiththappa, anna, thambi, kaathali, kunju, etc.

The school I studied until grade 5, the St.Theresa Girls school, is just located 400 m away from Karaddipokku junction where my family still owned few stores. From Karaddippoku junction, you can see two movie theaters, one is Parasakthi theater which is only 800 m away from the junction towards in the "vaddakkachi" road and "Eastwaran" theater is just 50m from the junction.

One beautiful city is in the hands of racists now.

Ananda-USA said...

Moshe,

A Bio-weapon originating in Pushchin makes much more sense, with Anthrax the most easily produced under primitive laboratory conditions.

If a Bio-weapon is released in the Vanni, the worst affected would be the SL Tamil population. It is very difficult to localize the application of such weapons, or control its spread to friend and foe given their temporal persistance characteristics. Also, that would end all support of any kind for the LTTE, even in Tamil Nadu, and launch a worldwide hunt for him by every national and international security agency.

While the GOSL should investigate this, I would recheck your original reference to Pushchin. How did you identify that city...on the basis of distance only? Please recheck.

If flying distance is the sole criterion, and Chem-Bio connection is speculation, then this could be only an escape route distance calculation for VP and his close cohorts.

Moshe,

If your Pushchino identification was in the original info you got, perhaps you should forward this to the MOD. Better to be safe than sorry.

well said Moshe Dyan. This is a proven truth. Tamilnut has nothing to say about huge losses but some crap to divert the attention.

It seems that SLAF has done a complete job this time..pictures indicate the max damage done to LTTP Paranthan. Way to go SLAF

Bhairav said...

[The fall of Kilinochchi is imminent within the next 48 hours...]

Modaya appu,

You guys are already in Kil if the SLA stationed at Karadippoku junction where onwards Kili downtown starts with Bank of Ceylon, Kandasamy Murguan temple, Kili Hospital, Schools, old SL police station, Kili market and finally round up with bus station which is almost 2 miles away from Karadippoku junction.

Last Mile,
Though it may not be in the radius,
a country like Somalia would be a prospective rat property don't you think?

This base was nothing more than a cat house for the fat bastard.
Now where is fat boy going to get his Chick(en) Buriyani from?

Cheers!

ananda,

that also explains the need to transport without transits, uloading/reloading.

President Rajapaksa's New Year Message to the Nation:

Never before has the dawn of a New Year brought welcome expectations of unity and prosperity to our nation as we see today.

We have great confidence that the determined path we have traversed so far will result in a sustainable peace to our country and people. I am aware this will bring great joy to all of you who have watched with great patience as we proceeded in the search for peace with justice and dignity to all.

It is my firm belief that when our nation crosses the threshold to victory it is the responsibility of us all to be united in safeguarding the future of our country. My government that has taken the country on the correct path to development, while facing many challenges, has also taken the necessary steps to bring prosperity to the lives of our people. We have bestowed the honour of the nation on our brave and heroic troops engaged in the task of saving the country from terrorism by declaring 2009 as the "Year of Heroic Victory". On this occasion we invite all, irrespective of political party, colour or affiliation to set aside the divisive feelings of opposition, and act with unity to transform the victories so far achieved to those even greater, and work together for the bigger victories of that await us in the future.

When the nation stands united all conspiracies against the country are defeated. It is our resolve to strengthen the determination and commitment of our people towards making this New Year the truly victorious year of the nation.

I wish you all every success in the New Year.
