Huge explosions in Tamil Tiger zone followed by radio silence
2009-05-17
The Army also said huge explosions were heard in the area where the LTTE leadership is hiding followed by thick black smoke seen rising up on the ground. They said after that LTTE radio communication went silent.
Well, that could be it! If Mario really went out, then we should know by Monday.
“Troops of 58 Division since last morning started maneuvering southwards along the coast on the Eastern border of the newly declared civilian safety Zone, and have been able to eliminate LTTE strongholds up to the Farah III shipwreck , located on the Kariamulliwaikkal coast.”

Farah 111 is the Jordanian Merchant ship the LTTE hijacked some years ago, when it was in the Mulaittivu waters.

“According to the sources, the shipwreck has been the main costal stronghold of the terrorists, on which their heavy machine guns were placed. The soldiers had to encounter stiff resistance from the terrorist manning the shipwreck when they posed the open beachhead this morning. Infantrymen of 11th Sri Lanka light infantry and 12 Gajaba Regiment upon reaching the location have attacked and destroyed the dinghy boats on which the terrorists had attempted to escape

“Meanwhile, a huge explosion has been reported in the civilian safety zone where the LTTE leaders are currently hiding in. According to the reports, the soldiers have heard the explosion around 6.30 P.M , after which they have observed thick black smoke rising above 200m from the ground. Following the explosion, all radio communications among the LTTE units have come to a standstill, the reports added.

#4  Yeah, I forgot about the Juice, Alan.

Funny that worldwide, the raving anti-semitics think that (a) the Juice are so powerful that they rule and/or are the cause of everything, and (b) the Juice can be destroyed.

Pick one, assholes. >:-(

#3  Oh come on Barbara they've got much too much imagination to quit so easily. It was obviously the Juice that did it in a secret cabal with the Lanka-poo.

#1  That screaming sound you hear in the background is the UselessNitwits, collectively horrified that their pet terrorist group du jour is about to be OBLITERATED. By other non-whites, no less, so they can't blame Amerikka™ and/or the West.

Too bad we can't get the collective UN to go join them for their FINAL battle....
