Special Forces Kill LTTE's Military Intelligence Head

An elite 6 man team of the Army's Special Forces Brigade ambushed a van in the general area Palaimadu in Northern Mannar District last evening killing the LTTE's Military Intelligence Leader (Internal) and three deputies. A powerful roadside claymore killed him and three others instantly. The assassination was later confirmed by LTTE sources who identified him under the rank of 'Colonel'.

The assassinated leader identified as Shanmuganathan Ravishankar by pro-LTTE sources, operated with the nom-de-guerre 'Charles' and was a very close associate of LTTE's Internal Intelligence head, Poddu Ammaan. Both are from the Jaffna District. A massive search operation is now underway to destroy the Special Forces unit, which is expected to return to base safely within the next few hours.

Charles was credited with the wiping-out of some SLA Military Intelligence operatives working from inside the LTTE and was a prime target of the combined Military Intelligence-Special Forces unit known as the Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol. It is now reported that Charles' whereabouts were leaked to SLA Military Intelligence by the same sources he was attempting to eliminate from within the LTTE.
