The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Member of Parliament (MP) K. Siwaneshan, representing the Jaffna district was killed in an explosion in the Kanagarayankulam area on the Mankulam-Mallavi road of Kilinochchi district on March 6-afternoon, reports Sri Lanka Army. The pro- Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) Website Tamil Net, however, alleged that K. Siwaneshan was killed in a claymore mine attack carried out by the Sri Lanka Army’s Deep Penetration Unit on A-9 road, 30-minutes after he crossed into Vanni through Oamanthai / Puliyangkulam entry point on March 6. His driver was also killed in the attack. The military, however, said no operations were being carried out there at that time, adds The Hindu. “If the reports given by LTTE propaganda elements are correct, the location of the bomb blast is at least 25 km in the LTTE dominated area from our last [security forces’] bastion at Omanthai. How can we expect anyone, even a well trained commando group to enjoy a cakewalk that far on the heavily guarded A-9 road?” the defence ministry quoted an unnamed official as saying. Three of the TNA's 22 MPs have been killed since fighting between the government and the LTTE resumed in 2005. Joseph Pararajasingham, a representative for the eastern Batticaloa district was killed while attending a 2005 Christmas mass. His colleague, Nadarajah Raviraj, was killed in the capital, Colombo, in November 2006. The TNA blamed those two killings on government-backed paramilitary groups, a charge the authorities denied.

Nayaru, an active LTTE hideout for Sea Tiger (sea wing of the LTTE) movement, has been used by the militants in the last several years to direct attacks against the security forces.
