Colombo Page reports that heavy mortar fire by the LTTE in the Omanthai area of Vavuniya district on May 17 forced the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) representatives at the Omanthai entry/exit point to withdraw. Military sources said the LTTE launched intermittent mortar attacks from early morning forcing the authorities to temporarily close the Omanthai entry/exit point to civilian traffic. "Civilians as well as traffic had to be immediately turned away or given safety precautions as the members of the ICRC delegation too began deserting the place in the face of falling LTTE mortars," an unnamed military official said, adding, "Departure of the ICRC point officials forced the Security Forces to immediately close down the vital link-way as a security measure without risking the lives of Kilinochchi bound civilians and the traffic."
