19 December 2007,
The latest LTTE attrocity has been reported from the Polonnaruwa District
where an unsuccesful attempt has been made to attack the Tricomalee-Colombo
Mail train in the close proximity of Kantalai Railway Station.
Details are tatty at the present about this latest attack which took
place around 8.45 p.m. on the 18th Dec.2007 and there are no injuries
reported.
In the usual cowardly manner of LTTE modus operandi they have exploded
a claymore mine targeting the Colombo bound mail train from Trincomalee,
1 KM away from Kantale railway station yesterday.
Reports from Military sources indicate that the explosion has damaged
the engine of the train which was on its mail run from Trincomalee to
Colombo.
This is the night mail train which usually travels with a full load
of Colombo bound passengers .The explosion said to have been felt more
than 5 KM away.
The local Police have also reported the explosion and said that the
engine of the train had been damaged in the blast but there were no
reported injuries.
This attack is a clear indication despite its inept overall outcome
that the LTTE are still unrelenting towards their criminal motivations
and while they are being decimated by the Armed Forces, continue putting
up a struggle and the need to run them into the ground systematically
in the swiftest possible manner imperative as their forces and strengths
are obviously depleted but are bound to continue their sporadic attacks
until they are sought out and destroyed completely.
This rests in the strategic capabilities of the Armed Forces and their
leadership and a matter of time that the LTTE as they have been known
in the past will no longer have the capacity to continue their meaningless
attacks on civilians and the Nation as the resolve within Sri Lanka
which was recently portrayed in the manner the Third Budget Reading
was passed and indicative of what the LTTE are in store for.
Complete annihilation and hopefully the capture alive of their bestial
leader Velupillai Prabhakaran now probably more dangerous as a cornered
tiger but whose capture will not result in any public display at the
Colombo Zoo albeit a likely option in a post Tribunal aftermath in the
event of a cyanide capsule failure!
