The target identified as X-Ray base was located in a thick jungle patch in LTTE's claimed 'high military zone' and 'Intel' reports confirm it to be the hub of LTTE activities in Kilinochchi, the sources said. The sources also revealed that it has been a regular visiting site of a high profile LTTE terrorist.
