On 2nd August we posted a story about another daring rescue operation to save a trapped LRRP team deep inside LTTE areas. The report was was follows;
"A few days ago, a SLA LRRP team was detected in the area just south of Kilinochchi at Kokavil by a group of LTTE civilian force members who called in reinforcements. The team of six special Forces fought valiantly losing two men in the process. Finally, a chopper full of Special Forces was brought in, who decimated the LTTE attack and rescued 4 men and one body. The other body was captured by the Tigers."

Today, defence.lk has posted a video of this operation, perhaps the only one of its kind so far. If you have not already seen it, please visit http://defence.lk/videos/20080815Rescue.wmv to see the video.
Thank you.
