A large number of LTTE cadres have begun surrendering to the Human Rights Commission in Jaffna as they are fast losing faith among the Tamil community, said military spokesperson Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara, according to Daily News. "Forty-two Tiger cadres have already surrendered to the Human Rights Commission in Jaffna within the last two weeks," Nanayakkara disclosed, adding, there is a rapid decrease in the number of youth joining the LTTE. He also pointed that there was a significant change in the LTTE strategy as they launched claymore attacks targeting the security forces without any concern about civilian lives, saying, "The LTTE is trying to distance the public from the Security Forces through these attacks." He further informed that the troops foiled attempts by the LTTE to infiltrate FDLs (Forward Defence Lines) in Mannar, Vavuniya, Welioya, Kilali, Muhamalai and Nagar Kovil during the past two weeks. The Air Force too carried out successful air-raids effectively destroying LTTE installations in Pooneryn South, Puthukuduiruppu and Vishvamadu, he added, saying, "The LTTE itself had admitted to the damages caused to them in these air attacks." Colombo Page quoted the military spokesperson as saying "The confidence of the civilians in the forces keeps rising. This is witnessed by the voluntary enlistment of over 24000 youth to the forces."
