BRUTAL TAMIL TIGER (LTTE) TERRORIST ATTACKS ON POLICE, TROOPS & CIVILIANS CONTINUE AS USUAL

PROVOCATIVE LTTE (TAMIL TIGER) TERRORIST ACTS, GRENADE AND FIRE ATTACKS and other atrocities against members of the Security Forces, Policemen, political activists and civilians seem to be the order of the day for LTTE cadres in some parts of the north and east of the country, irrespective of numerous appeals made to Tamil Tigers (LTTE) for restraint.

The latest criminal act of LTTE terrorists in the general area of PETALAI, KALKUDA on the SIVAM KOVIL road inflicted injuries to four Police Constables who were on a routine patrol at about 11.30 a.m. on Friday (30).

The Police team was first exposed to grenade attack and then came under small arms firing of the LTTE terrorists who were in hiding as the Police team was moving.

An armed group of Tamil Tigers in the meantime launched a small arms fire attack on the KODIKAMAM Police Station in JAFFNA at about 8.45 p.m. Thursday (29) night but the Policemen repulsed the attack with retaliatory fire.

The LTTE firing and retaliatory attack continued for about half an hour, prompting the troops and the Police to launch a search and clear operation.
