Associated Press reports that the armed men ambushed two camps belonging to the breakaway faction of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) led by ‘Colonel’ Karuna at Valaichenai in the Batticaloa district on January 9, killing several cadres of the Karuna faction. The pro-LTTE Website Tamil Net reported that unidentified assailants killed at least 10 members of the breakaway Karuna rebel faction and wounded four more in the ambush on paramilitaries - the word the mainstream Tamil Tigers use to describe the renegade guerrillas who broke away in 2004, adding, "Two paramilitary installations have been attacked in Valaichenai in Batticaloa district." Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry blamed the LTTE for the attacks. An official at the Defense Ministry's Media Center for National Security (MCNS) in Colombo confirmed the attacks, but said only two Karuna members died and that two were wounded.
