One civilian was killed and two injured when LTTE cadres exploded a claymore mine targeting a bus carrying civilians along the Trincomalee-Sallisambaltivu area around 11.45 a.m. yesterday, military officials said.
The driver of the bus was killed in the incident which occurred when the bus was proceeding from Trincomalee to Irrakkandi Road. Meanwhile Air Force fighterjets launched another attack in the area around the LTTE Vishvamadu base in Mullaitivu yesterday morning, targeting LTTE cadres who were engaged in attempting to salvage what remained from Friday’s air attack on this site, the Media Centre for National Security said.
It said Friday’s attack had destroyed the LTTE base complex consisting of large arms and ammunitions dumps and which was also reportedly the location for the LTTE's special "regiment" (Imran Pandiyan). The Military said the LTTE facility was a regular visiting place for key terrorist leaders.The LTTE denied the claims and said what was attacked was a TRO office and several civilians were injured in the attacks.
