Kfir Shot Over Iranamadu: Dreams in Desperation 30 Apr 2007 - 19:08 VAVUNIA: TAMIL TIGERS HAD DREAMT OF A SRI LANKAN AIR FORCE Kfir jet being shot over Iranamadu in which they had viewed an Israel built attack air craft crashing with a large cloud of smoke being spewed between 2:45 and 3:00 p.m. today (30). A pro –tiger website was too quick to carry the details of the dream with information added to say that a Kfir aircraft as had not returned to the base quoting unconfirmed reports from Colombo. When inquired from the Air Force of any Air craft not returning to the base during the day it was confirmed by senior Air Force officials that all Aircraft of the Sri Lanka Air Force are reported entered in the bases and hangers today subsequent to their routine reconnaissance and other strike missions over the tiger held areas. This is yet another clear example of the attempts by the tigers to cover up their pains of severe defeats suffered in the East of the island by fabricating and disseminating false propaganda around. The pains of losses in the East were heightened when the tiger efforts to use their last resort in desperation, a light air craft to drop locally made bombs to cause damages to the national security were in total failure. All these four occasions ended in total failure with near destruction to the tiger craft. Tigers so far had employed their fullest strength in which the employment of air craft being the last and the most to weaken the Security Forces of the State. It could be assessed that tigers are now resorting to some preposterous measures to satisfy themselves when nothing is effective against the Security Forces. It will not be long before the tigers fall in to the laughing stock. http://www.rnhit.com/mcns/fullnews.php?id=5539 Source: Media centre for national security
