The three frontal          simultaneous military surge led by the 58, 53 and 59 Divisions have          denied LTTE, strategic ground advantage also thining-out the LTTE's          lines of defences, providing enough escape route for hostages, security          sources said.          Meanwhile, terrorists have continued mounting          indiscriminate shelling and mortar attacks at both hostages and troops,          military said. <a href="http://defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20090514_14" target="_blank">http://defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20090514_14</a></blockquote>
