The troops recovered decomposed dead bodies of nine LTTE militants, including five females, from dense jungles in the Periyapanndivirichchan area of Vavuniya district. Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Daily News that the troops engaged in liberating the Wanni front launched an attack on the LTTE front-lines in Periyapanndivirichchan on March 8. "The Security Forces launched a consequent search operation in the area on Tuesday at around 2.15 p.m. and uncovered nine LTTE decomposed bodies along with three T56 weapons, four communication sets and a Global Positioning System (GPS)," he informed, adding, "It has become a trend of the LTTE to leave behind bodies of their fellow cadres in the battle field without handing them over to their parents or family members fearing to face them. This was practised by the LTTE routinely in the current battle in the Wanni front."

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 unhurt escapees told the SFs that they were a group of 14 Sinhalese fishermen who had been abducted by the LTTE while they were engaged in fishing about 20 nautical miles east of Puttalam and Kalpitiya on February 10, 2007 and March 2, 2007. The victims had been kept as slaves by the outfit for over 13 months until they escaped a week ago. Two of the victims had died on the way inside dense jungles of Mullaitivu and the rest managed to reach Omanthai this morning. The group had been detected by the LTTE at the Omanthai defence line and came under militant’s fire until the army rescued them. According to the police sources the victims were residents of Kalpitiya, Negombo and Tangalle areas.
