DEATH RACE LTTE truck, Prabhakaran's Vehicle?
LTTE terrorists suffered double blows losing two heavily fortified defence positions as 53 and 58 Division troops made predawn incursions at identified terror strongpoints located South of Valayanmadam today (April 28).
According to ground reports, 58 and 53 Div infantrymen have respectively gained total control over two LTTE built earth bunds located South and Southwest of Valayanmadam. 58 Division troops advanced Southwards from Valayanmadam, and gained control over a 600m long LTTE built earth-bund running across the coast from West to East, the sources further said. During subsequent search operations conducted troops have also uncovered 9 LTTE bodies, 15x T-56 assault riffles, 01x sniper gun, 11x claymore mines, C-4 explosives 1kg, 75 detonators, 53 'Arul' bombs, 47x hand grenades and 2x I-com sets.
Meanwhile, 58 Div infantrymen have also seized a modified armor plated truck used by LTTE terrorists and a few other heavy earth moving vehicles.
Terrorists have put-up heavy resistance to stall the two frontal military advance before fleeing further South, towards Mullivaikkal, security sources said. "The earth bunds were heavily mined, made to restrict both flow of the remaining hostages and military advances", a defence official said.
