Betrayal of Tamils
According to the recent intelligence reports, all key terror leaders, including Bhanu, Theepan and Luxman had abandoned their positions on the main battlefronts and fled into the rear areas. Reports have further revealed that a large number of LTTE cadres under the leadership of Theepan, are currently undergoing training for a counter attack in the LTTE hiding areas in Mullaittivu.
As per the information provided by surrendered LTTE cadres and civilians escaped to liberated areas, LTTE leader has ordered the armed cadres to launch the planned offensive while forcing large number of civilians to the front with them. The intention of the terror chief is to get large number of Tamil civilians killed during the attack and to win international sympathy over their dead bodies, they further revealed. Also, the psychopathic terror chief has called his latest order an ideal punishment for the Tamils who failed to support his cause, they added.
According to the senior defense officials, the security forces have already taken measures to prevent any situation that would cause civilian casualties. They said that the LTTE has lost all their civilian supporters in Wanni and therefore it will soon lose its ability to hold the civilians as a shield. However, they refrained from making further comments over this issue due to operational security reasons.
Apart from the main battlefronts, Army Task Force 3 is gaining domination over A-9 road from Panikkankulam to Mankulam and towards the East of the road. The Task Force 2 are destroying LTTE hiding areas in the Pulliyankulam and Omanthai areas while the 56 division still maintains the active defense in the east of Omanthai.
