The SFs retaliated and rescued eight fishermen when they detected a group of people trying to come out of a jungle patch three-kilometre east of Omanthai in the Vavuniya district on March 26-afternoon under heavy small arms fire by the LTTE militants, according to Colombo Page. Three of the escapees were killed while another three sustained injuries in the LTTE attack, the sources added.

The victims had been kept as slaves by the outfit for over 13 months until they escaped a week ago.

The Sri Lanka military said that the combined air and artillery attack by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) over Vavuniya in the pre dawn hours of September 9 killed 21 combatants on both sides, reports Colombo Page. Preliminary reports said the abortive ground artillery attack on the Wanni security force’s (SF) Headquarters Complex in Vavuniya killed 10 Army soldiers and one Police constable. While seven airmen, nine Police constables and one civilian also sustained injuries as a result of exchange of heavy fire, the troops have so far recovered 10 bodies of militants, including five female cadres. Simultaneously, two LTTE aircrafts providing support to the artillery attack dropped two bombs which missed their intended target falling on the office area failing to cause much damage. Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) fighter jets which had taken off from Katunayake Air Base intercepted the two fleeing aircrafts and shot one down. "Three aircraft were seen on radar. One was over Vavuniya and dropped a bomb and went back. There was also an artillery attack into Vavuniya," said an unnamed military official. The Black Tiger (suicide wing of the LTTE) squad staged a similar combined air and ground attack in October 2007 on the Anuradhapura Air Base killing 14 soldiers and destroying four SLAF’s aircrafts. 20 militants were also killed in the incident.
