Attack on SLA supply bases defensive - Ilanthirayan

[TamilNet, August 02, 2006 06:53 GMT]

Liberation Tigers' Military Spokesman, I. Ilanthirayan, said Wednesday that the artillery attack on Trincomalee naval base, providing rear support to Sri Lanka Army (SLA) offensive operation towards Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) controlled territory down south in Trincomalee, the clash in the seas off Pulmoddai, and the attacks on SLA camps located along the supply route A15 from Muttur to Mavil Aaru offensive site, were defensive attacks that aimed at curbing the artillery attacks towards LTTE controlled villages and aimed at blocking troop movement and supply to the SLA. The jetliner reaching Trincomalee Harbour Tuesday was not an specific target, he said.

Stating that the Tiger forces viewed the supply routes and artillery launching facilities of the Sri Lanka Army towards the SLA offensive site, as defensive targets, the LTTE military spokesman told media that the Sri Lankan forces had unleashed indiscriminate bombardment of civilian targets, prompting the Tigers to take proactive defensive measures.

"There was an urgent humanitarian need for neutralising the attacks on civillian targets," Mr. Ilanthirayan said.

He charged Colombo for remaining adament on a military solution to resolve a civil dispute which was in the process of being resolved.

He further confirmed another "defensive attack" in the seas off Pulmoddai to disrupt SLN supply towards Trincomalee. The clash off the seas in Pulmoddai, took place between 5:30 and 7:00 p.m. and later from 9:00 p.m. till 3:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Two Dvora Fast Attack Crafts of the SLN were damaged in Pulmoddai Tuesday evening.

Another Dvora FAC was severely damaged during the night clash off Pulmoddai.

The Tigers said two Black Tigers and seven Sea Tigers were killed in the seas off Trincomalee harbour on Tuesday.
