He said the Sri Lanka troops had to put in a heavy resistance to stop the invading forces of the LTTE and the best effort of the separatist forces could not move the ground forces back even by an inch. Brigadier Samarasinghe said still there were intermittent mortar and artillery attacks by the LTTE on the Forward Defense Line at Muhamalai. Commenting on LTTE military spokesman Ilantheriyan's claim that they have 40 decaying bodies of Sri Lanka Army unclaimed bodies, Brigadier Samarasinghe  said it was a complete fabrication meant for cheap propaganda and every soldier has been accounted for. He said at the end of the battle at Muhamalai, Kilali and Nagar Kovil the Army had 55 bodies of their own soldiers and 78 others were missing. He said 74 bodies of the missing 78 had been handed over to the army through the ICRC. Four soldiers are still gone on missing. The extra 40 bodies they are speaking about could well be those of the LTTE, Brigadier Samarasinghe said. Intelligence sources of the Security Services have now confirmed 196 of the LTTE terrorists have died in the major clash at Mauhamalai, Kilai and Nagar Kovil and 312 have been seriously injured. More have been reported having minor injuries. Security sources said, "The LTTE has converted schools in to hospitals. The injured LTTE members are hospitalized in these schools in the LTTE dominated areas. The last rites had been given to the dead in areas of Punukkai, Kilinochchi, Mannar and Mullaithiu by the LTTE." "There is a serious blood shortage," said the same sources, in the LTTE areas .The Tigers were also pressing civilians in uncleared areas to donate blood for their cadres injured in the battle which raged until Wednesday night. There have been attempts to force ordinary people to donate blood, the sources said. There is also a shortage of beds and medicines in the hospitals situated in LTTE dominated areas. . This has created a problem for the civilians. The hospitals are getting crowded in these areas with casualties since Wednesday (11)." Meanwhile, Air Force fighter jets pounded on the tiger gun positions in Elephantpass and Poonaryn areas, Friday morning inflicting heavy damages to the enemy. In addition to the 130 Sri Lanka Army soldiers killed in the battle the LTTE also killed one more soldier at Omanthai Forward Defense lines on October 13 Friday. Three more were also injured by small fire in the same clash and have been admitted to the Anuradhapura hospital <a href="http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20061014_02" target="_blank">http://www.defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20061014_02</a></blockquote>
