58 Div overruns largest LTTE suicide bomber training facility- Mullaittivu

Sri Lankan Army troops of the 58 Division led by Brigadier Shavendra Silva have made another vital breakthrough in the Wanni battles, as troops seized control over what is identified to be the largest LTTE suicide bomber and advanced combat training facility following hours of fierce fighting that ensued with LTTE, yesterday(Feb 3).

LTTE terrorists had fled suffering heavy damages during the intense gunfire exchanges also leaving a jeep, believed used by the LTTE chief Prabakaran or a senior associate for field visits at the large facility. The training base though located in a thick jungle patch was well equipped with modern fitness maintenance equipment, an auditorium and underground bunkers with food storage facilities.

Evidences suggests that the LTTE leader had made frequent visits at the location which is also believed to be the exact site where the LTTE human bombs were hosted with their 'final dinner of death' along with Prabakaran himself.

LTTE is a ruthless terrorist outfit that has been fighting for mono ethnic separate homeland for Tamils since 1983. The outfit led by its psychopathic leader V. Prabakaran is notorious for crimes against women and children. During its three decades of terror campaign against Sri Lankan citizens the outfit has killed and maimed over tens and thousands innocent children in ethnic cleansing raids, indiscriminate bomb attacks and by using child soldiers at the battlefronts.
