Lost Liberation: Now Zoo Pa No More
(November, 03, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam suffered a major setback when their political wing leader S.P. Thamilchelvan was killed in an airstrike today. His death occurred when SLAF 10th fighter squadron and 5th jet squadron's ground attack aircraft bombed a suspected rebel base in Kilinochci at around 6 AM today. 4 other senior LTTE cadres who were at the base too are reported to be killed.

Although Thamil Selvam was the leader of LTTE's political wing, he was recently assigned to the defense of the Pooneryn sector from a possible army invasion. At the time of his death, he was commanding a considerable number of LTTE fighters in the Pooneryn sector.
