    Army Commander said that LTTE’s administrative town Kilinochchi would come under army fire from next week onwards, with further advances into the rebel-held town.

    “The Army will fire its first shot towards the Kilinochchi town by next week, as the forces are some four kilometres away from Kilinochchi town,” said Lt. General Fonseka; adding: “We can even see some of the buildings in the town.”
