SLA goes for the kill-460 LTTE bodies recovered so far

After the troops of the 58th division and the 53rd met at the Pachchapulmodai junction,cutting off supply routes over 650 LLTE cadres were trapped in an area of about 1.5km2.Even at the time of capture troops who observed tigers moving in vehicles across the junction destroyed a few vehicles using RPG-7s.After restricting the tigers from escaping into the CSZ the SLA formed FDLs manned by troops of the Special Forces 1,2 and Commando 2 attached to the 58 division.Gen.Fonseka who saw the valuable catch took the operation to his hands and patiently waited,fortifying the defences with special units to prevent the escape of a single cadre.At first hard core cadres trapped in the zone tried to break through the FDL.But they were engaged by the SF units.Though the tiger unit consisting of a few leaders first expected reinforcements to arrive from the CSZ as promised by their senior leadership,such a thing did not materialize.So the demoralized cadres desperately fired shells from the artillery guns until their supplies dwindled,with no result.The special units started their movement for the kill today morning with CAS from fighter jets to annihilate the remaining pockets of tigers.We also received news that the Air Mobile brigade has also been called for the operation.As of now troops have been able to find 250 bodies of LTTE cadres including some senior leaders to raise the number of bodies collected to 460 in the last 3 days.Troops have also uncovered 4 artillery guns so far from this area(including the 1 destroyed by SLAF) and a large haul of weapons.LTTE casualty figures are expected to rise to more than 600 after the area in full cleared.Troops have also gone close to the borders of the safe zone.Exodus is expected soon(depending on the SF ops)More weapons are also expected to be recovered.So folks light your crackers and stay tuned for more info.Its the time for the KILL!
