Liberation Tigers launched a pre-dawn raid Friday on a Sri Lanka Army (SLA) minicamp at Neelachcheanai in Mannar, killing 10 SLA soldiers and seizing all the weapons from the camp, located near Uyilangku'lam entry/exit point. Four LTTE fighters were killed in action. A Medium Machine Gun (MMG), a Light Machine Gun (LMG), a 60 mm mortar, four automatic rifles, 25 hand grenades and an ammunition cache were seized by the Tigers, according to LTTE's Military Spokesman Irasiah Ilanthirayan.
LTTE fighters returned to their positions after "succesfully neutralizing the threat posed by the hostile enemy camp from which infiltration units were operating," Mr. Ilanthiryan said.
The raid took place at 2:35 a.m.
