Tigers lost one of  their boats along with 4 of their members due to SLN retaliatory fire. According  to available information 6 sea tiger boats were used in the attack. Sea tigers who had control of the base for a brief period of time were able  to capture few weapons stationed in the outpost including a LAW launcher, two  81mm mortars and a 50 cal machine gun. However the attacked outpost was not one  of main SLN bases as claimed by some pro rebel media. The area was later secured  with the help of SLN reinforcements. The tigers have been carrying out a series  of similar hit and run attacks on naval outposts in the recent times. Meanwhile the Sri Lanka Air Force bombers have bombed the LTTE frontline at  Muhamalai at least 3 times within two days. Many locations on the frontline were  targeted and the raids have been declared a 'success' by the SLAF.Courtesy of: <a href="http://defencenet.blogspot.com/2008/06/tigers-attack-sln-outpost-mannar.html" target="_blank">Defencenet</a>[/FONT]</blockquote>
