SRI LANKA DESTROYS AN IMPORTANT LTTE TRAINING BASE THAT USUALLY ACCOMODATES 300 RECRUITS

By Walter Jayawardhana

Sri Lanka’s Defense Ministry sources said the country’s Air Force destroyed one of the biggest training centers that turned out both Tamil Tigers land forces as well as its fighters in its marine wing , the Sea Tigers.

“Intercepted radio communication among the LTTE terrorists have revealed that "Senkadeer" sea tiger base was almost destroyed in the recent air raids conducted by SL air force, said the Defense Ministry, referring to the important LTTE garrison at Alampil in the still rebel held Mulativu District.
Sources said although the military does not know the exact number casualties of the bombing raid before the attack it used to accommodate about 300 trainees at a time.

According to military intelligence the seriousness of the damage inflicted could be gauged by the SOS that went out from the base that every family in the rebel held Wannin should supply two pints of blood to the injured at the training base.

For the last few days the LTTE news website was alleging that Navy Gunboats have been constantly attacking boats going out of Alampil which it called ‘fishing boats’. The Tamil Net did not report about the air raid on Alampil.

It is estimated that the LTTE is having 12,000 land fighters and 4000 sea fighters who are fighting for a Tamil separate state in the North and East of the country. Except few intelligence hands mingling with civilians the LTTE has been completely routed in the Eastern Province.

The separatist group are still holding the Districts of Kilinochchi and Mullaithivu in the Wanni.
