Security force engaged in search operations have found 15 more dead bodies of Tiger cadres who were killed in clashes in Thoppigala area. Media Center for National Security says that they decided to bury the dead bodies as they had decomposed instead of handing over to the Tigers organization as was usually done.
With the capture of three tiger camps by the security forces at Narakamulla area in Batticaloa on 19th, Tiger cadres in that area have begun to flee and some are reported to be trapped in the Thoppigala jungle. Security forces say they have issued public notices for those who are thus trapped to surrender to the Armed forces immediately.
The Army says they have only 22 square kilometers to rescue in Thoppigala area.
Meanwhile two Tiger cadres in the clash in Omantha area and another two at pointpedro were killed yesterday. At a subsequent search operation the Army has found four T-56 rifles.
In another incident a boat suspected to be of the Tigers and that was sailing in Nilaweli sea in Trincomalee has exploded. At 10:45am yesterday the Navy noticed the suspicious boat and ordered it to stop. Despite several alarm shots having fired, the boat sped off towards Mulative and the Navy were chasing after it when it exploded.
At a subsequent search operation a body of a woman Tiger cadre has been found.
