MULLAITTIVU: IN what appeared to be a surprise, a 21-member strong group of priests, believed to have been forcibly detained by Tiger terrorists inside the “No Fire Zone” in PUTHUMATTALAN managed to find their exit Saturday morning (25) at about 10.30 a.m. and reached the troops at MULLIYAWALAI, MULLAITTIVU.
The team including three parish priests (fathers), fourteen nuns (sisters) and four trainee nuns, belonging to Pente Costal Mission has been reportedly forcibly detained by Tiger terrorists despite numerous appeals made to them for their release.
Those religious dignitaries have trudged across the terrain for several hours after they had secretly vacated LTTE areas.
At the time this report was pasted, they were being served hurriedly-prepared lunch by the troops before they were brought down to the south.
