A fierce sea clash broke out after about 20 LTTE boats attacked a cargo ship, reported Associated Press. Navy ships backed by air fire destroyed three of the LTTE boats, killing at least six of the outfit’s cadres, Navy spokesperson, Commander D.K.P. Dassanayake, said. The Hindu quoted military officials as saying that a boat packed with explosives rammed the City of Liverpool cargo carrier off Point Pedro as it was leaving the Jaffna peninsula after unloading wheat flour. "A cluster of Tiger boats attacked the ship while another cluster engaged the navy gunboats," Dassanayake added. He said the Air Force was called and said the merchant vessel also had several security force personnel who were returning rebel fire. The ship had a crew of two Indians, seven Indonesians and 10 Sri Lankans.

At least 10 sailors were killed when the Sea Tigers, naval wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), boats attacked and infiltrated a Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) base on an island off the Jaffna peninsula before dawn on May 24 (today), the military said, according to Reuters.

Less than 10 sailors are dead," adding, "We didn't even have 35 people there. That's totally false propaganda." The SLN spokesperson, Commander D. K. P Dassanayake, said that the outfit attacked the navy base at Delft in a flotilla of 15 boats and navy sailors sank one of them in attempts to repulse the ambush, adds Associated Press. The LTTE military spokesperson Rasiah Ilanthirayan, however, claimed that they swiftly overran the base and later found the bodies of 35 sailors. "The fighting lasted only 20 minutes and we completely overran the camp," Ilanthirayan said, adding that the cadres returned to their own base soon after the raid.

The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) destroyed two Sea-Tiger (sea wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam [LTTE]) boats which were trying to pass off as part of a cluster of Indian trawlers in the Vidattaltivu area of Mannar district on July 28-evening, reported The Hindu. Six LTTE cadres were killed in the incident. "Navy patrol craft had initially detected a cluster of Indian trawlers poaching in the Sri Lankan waters at a location 10 nautical miles west of Vidattaltivu. When the navy craft approached the boat cluster, two suspicious boats that were among the Indian boats speeded themselves away from the Indian boats firing rocket propelled grenades and small arms at the navy craft. After a short sea confrontation, the navy sailors were able to destroy the terror boats. There were four LTTE cadres in one boat and two in the other", the SLN said. It further claimed that the north western coast of the island from north of Mannar to Elephant Pass has become the main platform that enables the LTTE to continue its cross-border activities, since it had lost control over the eastern waters.

S. P. Thamilselvan, the political wing leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and its de-facto number two, was killed in a Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) air strike at dawn on November 2, reports Daily News. The SLAF MiG 27 and Kfir fighter jets which went into action on the morning took precise targets in the south of Kilinochchi resulting in the death of 40-year-old Thamilchelvan and five other outfit leaders. The SLAF spokesman Group Captain Ajantha Silva confirmed that both Kfir and MiG 27 fighter jets carried out operations in Thiruvaiaru, a location three kilometres South of Kilinochchi around 6am on ‘very reliable information’, identifying the location as a meeting place of LTTE leaders. "Our pilots had taken a precise target and it was further confirmed with the LTTE admitting that Thamilselvan was killed in the air strike," Silva said, adding, "Simultaneously the fighter jets also pounded a Black Tiger camp in the East of Iranamadu." Five other leaders ‘Lt. Col.’ Anpumani alias Alex, ‘Major’ Mihuthan, ‘Major’ Nethagy, ‘Lieutenant’ Adchgivel and ‘Lieutenant’ Vahakai Kumaran were also killed in the air strike. Their meeting place has now been confirmed as an international communications centre run by ‘Lt. Col’ Alex. It was also a centre for logistics, arms procurement, fund raising and operational matters. The LTTE posthumously promoted Thamilchelvan to the self styled rank of ‘Brigadier’ after his death. According to sources this is the first occasion the outfit has promoted one of their leaders to the rank of a ‘Brigadier’. It has also declared three days of mourning in areas they dominate. Meanwhile, the LTTE chief Prabhakaran has appointed P. Nadesan as the new Political Head. The LTTE’s military spokesman Irasiah Ilanthirayan said that Nadesan, who is currently in charge of Tamil Eelam Police, will be in charge of the two departments from now on.
