Army troops on foot patrol successfully over powered an ambush laid by the LTTE terrorists in the west of Polipanchical in Batticaloa this morning (12th). The soldiers have found four bodies of LTTE cadres, three hand grenades and two claymore mines in the subsequent search operation.
According to the defence sources, the terrorists have launched the attack around 11.30a.m. It is believed that the group of terrorists had come to the area to sabotage resettlement and development activities undertaken by the government.
Army suffered no casualties in the attack. The bodies of the LTTE cadres will be handed over to the ICRC this evening.
