The leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) breakaway faction, ‘Colonel’ Karuna, has declared war on the Tamils from Jaffna, sources said, adding that this new move sharpens the regional differences among Tamils and brings a new element of Tamils fighting Tamils on a regional basis to the ongoing war, Asian Tribune reported. Karuna’s first move in this regard is to issue an order to the parents of the members of the Eelam People’s Democratic Party (EPDP) led by Minister Douglas Devnanda demanding that their children should immediately give up their membership in other political parties. He has directed his military cadres Thillepan, Jeyanthiran, Veera, Sinnathamby, and Riyaseelan to identify the Jaffna people and force them to leave the Eastern Province. Sources said the commanders had already sent out letters to parents whose children are members of the EPDP ordering them to come to their offices for a meeting to discuss the future of their children enlisted as members of political parties led by Jaffna leaders.

The Hindu has reported that the Secretary General of the Secretariat for Coordinating the Peace Process, Rajiva Wijesinha, has drawn the attention of the Co-Chairs to recent reports that the LTTE is in the process of recruiting one member from each family in areas under its control, for possible military purposes. In a letter addressed to the Co-Chairs, Wijesinha referred to attempts made to recruit persons working for NGOs in the North. His letter said, “I write with reference to recent reports of Ambassador Brattskar’s visit to Kilinochchi, which record him as stating that the LTTE is in the process of recruiting one member of each family. This is probably to join its armed forces, though there may be other purposes, some perhaps even more sinister.”

The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) destroyed two Sea-Tiger (sea wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam [LTTE]) boats which were trying to pass off as part of a cluster of Indian trawlers in the Vidattaltivu area of Mannar district on July 28-evening, reported The Hindu. Six LTTE cadres were killed in the incident. "Navy patrol craft had initially detected a cluster of Indian trawlers poaching in the Sri Lankan waters at a location 10 nautical miles west of Vidattaltivu. When the navy craft approached the boat cluster, two suspicious boats that were among the Indian boats speeded themselves away from the Indian boats firing rocket propelled grenades and small arms at the navy craft. After a short sea confrontation, the navy sailors were able to destroy the terror boats. There were four LTTE cadres in one boat and two in the other", the SLN said. It further claimed that the north western coast of the island from north of Mannar to Elephant Pass has become the main platform that enables the LTTE to continue its cross-border activities, since it had lost control over the eastern waters.
