Sri Lanka Highway Minister and chief government whip Jeyaraj Fernandopulle and 11 others were killed in a suicide attack carried out by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) at a sporting event in the Weliweriya area, about 25-km north of capital Colombo, of Gampaha district on April 6 (today)-morning, reports Colombo Page. Fernandopulle was about to inaugurate a marathon when a suspected LTTE suicide bomber disguised as a marathon runner blew himself up, killing the Minister and at least 11 others, including National Athletic coach Lakshman De Alwis and Olympic marathon runner and national record holder K.A. Karunaratna. Over 90 people, including Gampaha Division Senior Superintendent of Police Hector Darmasiri, were also injured in the blast, the Defence Ministry said. An outspoken critic of the outfit, Minister Fernandopulle was a senior minister in the President Mahinda Rajapakse’s government and was member of the Parliament from the ruling Sri Lanka Freedom Party since 1983.

Sri Lanka’s military on August 2 claimed to have captured Vellankulam town, the last stronghold of the LTTE in Mannar district in the north, The Hindu reported. A Defence Ministry statement said following fierce battles over the past few days, soldiers advanced into Vellankulam town area “despite the stiff resistance given by the terrorists to protect the strategically-important build-up area,” which links the western coast and Mankulam with a direct supply route via Tunukkai and Mallavi. At least 30 LTTE militants were killed and the remaining reportedly used sea routes to withdraw, it added. However, the Pro-LTTE TamilNet claimed the outfit’s defensive formations at Mallaavi on August 1 foiled a three-pronged offensive, which was launched from Vavunikku’lam and Paalaiyadi, targeting Mallaavi. It claimed “at least 30 soldiers were killed and more than 60 sustained injuries in fighting, according to the LTTE.

The troops captured Mulankavil, the second most powerful administrative base for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the Kilinochchi district, on August 13, reports Sri Lankan Army. 20 militants, including one area leader identified as Thennaman, were killed during the incident. The security forces (SFs) captured Mulankavil town, along the Mannar Pooneryn A-32 road where the LTTE had their ‘national’ stadium and a massive cemetery, military officials told Daily News. According to Brigadier Shavendra Silva, General Officer Commanding of the 58 Division, the capture of Mulankavil is a bigger victory for the Army since it was considered the second most important township in the Kilinochchi district after Kilinochchi town. According to ground troops there had been more than 500 graves of LTTE cadres buried between May 20 and July 18 and a massive area has been cleared for graves. A large number of LTTE offices have also been located within Mulankavil giving the impression that the LTTE had used this township as one of their administrative centres in the Kilinochchi district. The troops have now pushed the LTTE further north on the A-32 road towards Nachchakuda, the last Sea Tiger (sea wing of the LTTE) base on the North Western coast.

More than 50 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militants were killed and over 60 others injured by the Security Forces (SFs) as clashes erupted between the two sides when the Task Force-I troops on December 31 entered the strategically important Paranthan town after cutting off the Jaffna-Kandy (A-9) road from the north of Paranthan junction, Army Commander Lt. General Sarath Fonseka told Daily News. ”Troops have already entered Paranthan and are short of only 100 meters to reach Paranthan junction. They will fully capture the Paranthan junction within the course of Wednesday night… We have taken the control over the beach front from the North of Paranthan, completely cutting off the links the LTTE is having with the Jaffna front through A-9 road”, the Army Commander said. Paranthan is a strategically important four way junction town in the remaining areas held by the LTTE in Wanni and the North as it connects Pooneryn in the West, Mullaitivu in the East, Kilinochchi in the South, and Jaffna and Muhamalai in the North to one main hub through B-69, A-35 and A-9 roads. While moving towards Paranthan, Task Force-I troops also captured the entire earth bund in the Adampan village opening yet another gateway to Kilinochchi from the North. Separately, the 57 Division troops advanced towards the Kilinochchi build up area after passing the Iranamadu junction from the West of A-9 road. ”The 57 Division troops are just short of two and half kilo meters from the Kilinochchi station”, the Division Commander said. He said the SFs are determined to eradicate LTTE terrorism fully from the country in 2009 and these victories reflect the possibility of achieving that victory soon. ”The LTTE will not exist until the year 2010. We are confident of eradicating LTTE fully in the year 2009”, the Commander added.

Meanwhile, the Naval intelligence have revealed that three senior Sea Tiger [sea wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)] women leaders, including self-styled ‘Lt.

Many LTTE fighter crafts had been damaged by Air Force bombing,” the Media Center for National Security said. It also said that another two senior female Sea Tiger leaders ‘Major’ Thuwarika and ‘Lt.’ Senthamani were killed and nine were wounded due to the air strike. Naval intelligence has also revealed that this location covering a two-km area has been declared by the LTTE as a high security zone prohibited for civilians.
