On December 18, LTTE cadres reportedly abducted at least 21 girls, three boys and two teachers while they were returning after private tuition classes in the Vinayagapuram area of Ampara district. According to reports, the LTTE cadres opened fire towards them when they objected to the outfit attempt and tried to run away, injuring at least one student. Military spokesperson Brig. Prasad Samarasinghe told Daily News, "The Tigers have abducted 21 girls, three boys and two teachers and taken them to their training camp in Kanchikudiaru. The distressed parents of the abducted children have complained to the SLMM and have left in search of their children in Kanchikudiaru," adding, the parents are yet to return. Meanwhile, The Hindu adds that the LTTE on December 19 released 23 students "recruited" for military training a day earlier from Ampara district on the plea that they turned out to be under-age. Tamil Net quoted the LTTE military spokesperson Irasiah Ilanthirayan as saying that it was an "unfortunate episode" and the cadres responsible for the recruitment were removed from operational duty and an internal investigation was on.
