The de-mining process in the Eastern Province is reaching its final stage, the Ministry of Nation Building announced, according to Colombo Page.

Troops engaged in their final push against LTTE are poised to completely seal off the Eastern coast within the next 24 hours as 58th Division troops advancing towards Mullaitivu from the northern direction reached closer to Mullaitivu front after capturing the grounded Jordanian ship Farah III in the Mullaitivu seas by the evening of May 14, military officials said. “By yesterday evening, less than two kilo metres stretch of beach front was under the LTTE control and it would soon be captured by the troops once 58 and 59 Division troops marry up in the North of Mullaitivu completely denying the beach front to the LTTE,” the official added. The Security Forces captured the Jordanian ship Farah III which was used by the LTTE to fire upon the ground troops of both 58th and 59th Divisions advancing on the ground and also towards Navy boats patrolling in the sea off Mullaitivu. The ship which was reportedly being used by the Sea Tigers (sea wing of the LTTE) as their operational centre was seized by the LTTE in December 2006 after it had engine trouble and was awaiting rescue from Colombo. Though the crew and its captain to Mullaitivu were also abducted they were later released to the International Red Cross. According to military officials the advance on the beach front would be much easy with the capture of this ship. Reports also indicate that as troops are closing in on the last terrain of the LTTE, many explosions were heard inside the NFZ and from LTTE camps as the militants blew off their ammunition dumps and other weapons before being captured by the advancing troops.
