Troops on search and clear operations in west of Puthukkudiyiruppu, who observed newly planted bushes and soft soil, have excavated on suspicion as LTTE terrorists had buried fuel barrels in this area before their withdrawal in the wake of troops' advances. The two 130mm artillery barrels had been buried in 250m distance and they had been applied with grease and covered up with polyethylene covers before they were buried, defence sources said. Further search and clear operation are now being in progress to locate the remaining accessories of another 130mm artillery gun believed to be hidden in the surrounding area. This is the first time troops were able to locate the LTTE's 130mm artillery guns during the Wanni liberation offensive. <img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A12.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A06.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A07.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A08.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A09.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A10.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A03.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A04.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A02.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://www.defence.lk/img/20090217_A01.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
