    One sailor was killed in the above attack and 2 inshore patrol vessels were damaged in the explosion. Don't worry fellows the L.T.T.E.'s mission was most probably to create fear and inflict as many casualties on the Navy as possible. They failed in both. These terrorists get screwed by the Navy in battle so they try to take it out on unarmed sailors.
