A LTTE suicide bomber blew himself targeting SFs in the Varikottoruwa area of Vavuniya District, according to a Sri Lanka Army report. However, the troops escaped unhurt. According to the report troops on a cordon and search operation in the area observed two men suddenly started running on seeing the troops.

At least 17 civilians were killed and over 200 injured when three LTTE suicide bombers rammed into civilian gatherings and blew themselves up inside the NFZ in the Puttumatalan area between 9.00a.-1.00pm (SLST) on April 20. The Defence Ministry said the militants initially fired at civilians on the causeway using heavy machine guns, adds The Hindu. "When they stepped into the lagoon to avoid LTTE machine gunfire, three LTTE cadres ran on to them and exploded themselves," the ministry added. In addition, a large group of people attacked the militants who attempted to stop them and crossed over to the army-line amid LTTE small arms fire. The Navy said its sea units deployed in the north-eastern coastal waters rescued 92 boats with over 1,500 civilians. Navy spokesperson D.K.P. Dassanayake said, "The Sri Lanka Navy detected a cluster of small boats coming out of the NFZ early this morning with LTTE attack boats firing at them. Having identified that refugees were being attacked by the LTTE, Navy Sea units have separated the terrorist boats from refugee boats by tactically manoeuvring in between them." Government sources said that Air Force Unmanned Aerial Vehicles spotted more civilians being shot by LTTE cadres as they attempted to leave the NFZ, PTI reported.

A plot to carry out a suicide attack on President Mahinda Rajapakse in his hometown Madamulana with the involvement of a suspect arrested in connection with the killing of Southern Provincial Councillor, Danny Hiththetiyage, came to light at the Mount Lavinia Magistrates court on August 12, reports Daily Mirror. The Attorney General made a special request to the Magistrate to order the prison authorities to hand over the suspect Madusha Lakshan to the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) for questioning over the alleged plot. Making the application to get the suspect under CCD custody, Senior State Counsel Dileepa Peiris said the findings had revealed that the suspect had a personal animosity against the President and he had brokered with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) to get the support of a resident in Angunakolapelessa to carry out a suicide attack. Counsel Peiris said the plot was uncovered following a detailed statement given by Saman Chandana of Angunakolapelessa who was arrested during a cordon and search operation in the Wellawatte railway station area on April 15.
