| LTTE military complex bombed |
| 2008-10-03 |
| The Air Force on Thursday claimed to have bombed the LTTE's "military headquarter complex" in Kilinochchi even as the military announced that its troops are 3.5 km away from the Kilinochchi town. Sri Lankan Air Force spokesperson Janaka Nanayakkara told journalists here that fighter jets targeted the LTTE headquarters located two km northeast of Kilinochchi town. However, in a statement posted on its website, the LTTE alleged that the "LTTE Peace Secretariat and the Political Head Office" were targeted. Six of one, half a dozen of the other, I'd say... "In this attack, which took place around 12.45 pm, two civilians were killed and another five injured while they were passing the nearby road. Several houses situated in the close proximity of these offices were also badly damaged," it said. My heart bleeds [urp!] |
