Military urges public to be vigilant

The military yesterday warned the public to be more vigilant as the LTTE might strike in populated areas such as the main cities and suburbs, following the loss it suffered in the east.

Military spokesman Prasad Samarasinghe told the Daily Mirror the Tigers might desperately try to create instability in the country and he appreciated the public for being vigilant by alerting the security forces in recent times.

Brigadier Samarasinghe also said the Tigers tried to do the same after the loss of Vakarai, but their attempts failed as public vigilance and prompt action taken by the security forces.

The warning came a day after the LTTE threatened to cripple the country’s economy with major attacks on military and economic targets.
