BBC Sinhala service reports that the ‘Colonel’ Karuna faction cadres killed 12 cadres of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in an attack at the outfit’s camp in the Sampoor and Ravulkulee areas of Trincomalee district on May 7.

Meanwhile, the LTTE ‘Trincomalee district political wing’ leader, S Elilan, accused the Army for the attack and said that the attackers came from a nearby Army base.

However, denying the accusation, Military spokesperson Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe told BBC Sandeshaya that nobody apart from Army personnel stay in Sri Lanka military camps and added, “SLMM can come and inspect whether militants are staying in Army camps.”
