SLA faced few set backs dring the past few days of the weekend amids many victories, the Tigers led by Lawrence, launched a daring counter attack on the FDL of the 58th, the attack was partially successful as the SLA suffered around 70KIA and 250 injured in the heavy fighting raged outskirts of PTK. Heavy fighting is still going on, the LTTE for its part suffered around 200KIA (Lawrence believed to be among these victims) with a further 200 injured.
Around 600 hardcore LTTE cadres infiltrated the FDL of the Army's 58 Division from the general area Puthukudirippu North. A group of around 200 cadres who attempted to flank the 55 and 58 were massacred by 3 Special Forces and 2 Commandos after the 55 Division spotted them early on.
However, around 50 specially trained “DPU” cadres managed infiltrate the cleared areas. The 58th division would have been decimated had it not been for the timely arrival of Special Forces and 57th reinforcements who managed to pacify the counter attack, they could not stop the infiltration attempt entirely though – the Tigers know the terrain better.
Yesterday a team of Tigers from the infiltration team captured an Army Artillery Gun Position and destroyed 3 130mm canons after turning the guns against the SLA. The Tigers had infiltrated 10-12km into SLA dominated areas to capture the position, which is situated near the former IDP camp in Kilinochchi where a woman suicide bomber blew herself up some time ago.
Self styled LTTE “Colonel” Lawrence has been killed by the Special Forces that came into the aid of the 58th division when a group of hardcore Tiger cadres breached the 58th FDL north of Puthukuduriyuppu. Military Intelligence officers from Colombo who are at the scene are trying to positively confirm his identity as his dead body is believed to be among the 112 bodies so far recovered by the 58th. Lawrence was one of the most talented commanders of the LTTE and in the past has led many successful offensive and DPU missions against the SLA, the death of Lawrence is a big loss to the LTTE. Unconfirmed reports state that another self style “Colonel” Sornam has died in fighting in PTK.Special forces of SLA are now hunting down the infiltrators...
