Earlier on July 2, another large stock of jewellery deposited by civilians at the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) “Eelam Bank” was recovered by troops in the Puthukudirippu area of Mullaitivu District, the military said, Daily Mirror reports. It said troops of Task Force--8 during clearing and mopping up operations recovered 8,709 packets that contained a wide assortment of gold jewellery, including necklaces, bangles, ear rings, chains and many more similar items. “All those items appeared to have been pawned at the LTTE Eelam Bank,” the army said, adding that each packet contained a duplicate receipt with names and other details of those pawning the jewellery while the original receipt might have been issued to the owners at that time the items were pawned. The army had already sent detailed reports to Wanni military authorities, to help them trace the whereabouts of the owners for the possible return of their valuables. The jewellery consisted of 852 bangles, 188 small bangles, 20 damaged bangles, 26 bangle parts and one bracelet. Most of the bangles, made into bundles of five to seven pieces, appeared to be carefully hidden. Earlier, similar stocks were uncovered from Vellamullivaikkal and taken for safe-keeping to be gradually returned to their owners later.

On the instructions of the Ministry of Defence, such security measures that were in place in Tekkawatte, Muntrumurippu, Vairavapuliyankulam, Katkuli and Thavasikulam are being dismantled. Several roads in the vicinity of Vavuniya were kept permanently closed with barriers built across and deep trenches dug during the last eight years to prevent LTTE militants having free access to places of strategic importance. On the completion of the demolition of these barriers, public will be allowed free access along these roads.

Sunday Times reported on July 19 that personal files belonging to the slain Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) chief Velupillai Prabhakaran – with details about arms deals and arms shipments, intended targets, suicide cadres and other key information – were unearthed last week. Equipment to monitor the movements of Air Force jets and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), as well as weapons and weapon parts, were among the assorted items found. The items were found at the end of a six-day search operation conducted by a Police team led by Colombo Crime Division (CCD) Director, Superintendent of Police Vass Gunawardena. Anura Senanayaka, the Deputy Inspector General of Police in CCD, told Sunday Times that files with more than 270 personal documents belonging to Prabhakaran were found in three large plastic containers. A close associate of Prabhakaran in CCD custody and key LTTE members accompanied the CCD team during the search. The LTTE members included one of Prabhakaran’s personal bodyguards, a personal assistant to the LTTE chief, a driver and a mechanic who had worked for the Sea Tigers (sea wing of the LTTE). Prabhakaran’s close associate had initially said he would disclose three locations, but eventually helped to pinpoint 11 sites where LTTE documents and materials were buried. The team uncovered a plastic barrel containing what is believed to be Eastern Province LTTE leader Swaranam’s personal belongings, including a mini-pistol and an M16 weapon. Three other barrels were found to contain Prabhakaran’s personal documents. These relate to the purchase of weapons and countries of origin, weapon transport schedules, LTTE military plans, bank account details, military personnel details, as well as plans drawn up by Prabhakaran’s deputy Pottu Amman, including details of operations in Colombo, and Prabhakaran’s own plans. According to Gunawardena, the search party also found communication equipment used by the LTTE to monitor the movements of Sri Lanka Air Force jets and transmissions from UAVs. Satellite phones, laptops, fax machines, antennas, cables and other items were also recovered. In separate searches in the vicinity, Police found anti-aircraft missiles, parts of 120 mm, 130-mm and 152 mm artillery guns, chemicals and 33 LTTE suicide kits, as well as photographs of LTTE suicide cadres.

According to reports, the LTTE was in the practice of exploiting the wealth of civilians in those areas in various ways, by way of ransom, “tax’ and transactions through the “Eelam Banks”.

The Jaffna-Kandy (A-9) main highway was reopened for passenger transport in the morning of July 22 after a gap of three years, Colombo Page reported. The nearly 200 mile- long A-9 Road was closed for passenger transportation in August 2006 after the army camp in Muhamalai in Jaffna came under attack from the LTTE. The road was open during the cease-fire period of 2003- 2006 but was under the control of the LTTE who imposed heavy taxes on the passengers. With the liberation of Kilinochchi and Elephant Pass, the Sri Lankan Army brought the entire highway under its control on January 9, 2009. The LTTE had mined the highway heavily to prevent the Sri Lankan Army offensive against them. The A-9 is the only land route which connects Sri Lanka's capital Colombo and the northernmost point of the country in the Jaffna peninsula. During the time it was closed the passengers had to travel between Colombo and Jaffna taking either the sea route or the air route. The Government opened the A-9 for military traffic in March and earlier this month for commercial traffic.
