LTTE is fighting hard & they are not giving up Nochchikuda

LTTE continues to use heavy artillery & motor fire

Air support is good

Army needs it

Tanks must be used more frequently

expect heavy fighting in the days & weeks ahead as

1. Army rolls into more LTTE heart land

2. LTTE counter attacks



In war there is no substitute for victory.
