LTTE’s Underwater Vehicle Factory Is captured……..

SLA, Task Force-3 found an LTTE underwater vehicle along with 3 other smaller underwater vehicles which are still under construction from the Udayarkattukulam area in Mullaittivu. Military sources said that this was the most startling recovery made by troops so far during the ongoing counter terrorist operations against the LTTE.

The largest underwater vehicle found is about 35 feet in length and amour plated. The discovery was made by the infantrymen of 4 Sri Lanka Light Infantry (4 SLLI) .

With this discovery the LTTE will go down in the history as the first terrorist organization to develop underwater weapons. Also, the LTTE is the first terrorist outfit to introduce suicide bombers to the world and to develop naval and air arms.

LTE has used FRP (Fibre Reinforced Plastic) Technology from a foreign country for these machines.The Army's Task Force 3 has obtained conclusive evidence of this technology. DR also received credible information from sources within the Navy that the Dvora blown-up recently off the coast of Mulaitivu was by a suicide submerged vessel, possibly a human torpedo/water scooter. It was said that tigers have carried out several attacks against the FAC’s of the NAVY using small human subs which now believed to be buit in this factory.

The most reason attack came against a Dvora FAC which was patrolling seas about 10 nautical miles off the coast of Mulaitivu when the blast occurred. Given the nature of the blast and the amount of explosives used and the distance from the coast to the FAC, a suicide frogman can be ruled out. A similar blast sunk a Navy Logistics supply Ship in the Trincomalee Naval Yard last year.

Also with this discovery few eye brows were raised among the high military ranks fearing that the LTTE leader VP might already used one of these vehicles to escape from the Navy defense lines in the Mullattivu Sea. While Lot of rumors are still spreading about the fate of the LTTE leader.
