Sri Lanka security forces continued the search and clear operations to wipe out the small groups of Tamil Tiger cadres in newly captured Thoppigala jungles in the Eastern Province.
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ealam (LTTE) cadres are reportedly fleeing the area in small groups. The government security forces have confronted them in several occasions.
Government security forces officially announced the capture of Thoppigala on July 11.
Meanwhile the opposition United National Party Media Chief Lakshman Kiriella yesterday charged the government stating it has information from Army internal sources that 800 cadres including LTTE leaders were allowed to safely escape by orders from the top to Mullaitivu via Welikanda, Serunuwara, Muttur and Manirasakulam with multi barrel rocket launchers.
