Second Striking Assault on LTTE FDL Destroys Remaining Damaged Bunkers

JAFFNA: ANOTHER PRE-EMPTIVE ATTACK on some more partly damaged bunkers on one side of the LTTE front line on MUHAMALE defence line this morning (February 1) around 5.45 a.m. got rid of ten terrorists and smashed ten remaining bunkers which have been infiltrated once again.

The striking attack on the terrorists who have been infiltrating the first line after it was challenged two days ago. (See separate story)

Today's (01) assault took the Tigers by surprise.

Terrorists who have crept into those damaged bunkers reacted to the troops advance and fire using heavy fire.

Two valiant soldiers paid the supreme sacrifice and six soldiers received injuries.

All ten dead bodies of Tiger terrorists were seen scattered behind their Forward Defence Line.
