(September 05, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Around 12.00 midnight on 3 September, Sri Lanka military fired artillery shells that hit a Co-operative store behind the Forut building on A9 road in the heart of Kilinochchi town, the Tamil Tiger terrorists said in a statement.

However the statement points out, “just 200 meters from this Co-operative building is the WFP compound where UN trucks that carry humanitarian aid from the south are parked and the UN stocks are maintained.”

“The shelling hit a tree and then hit the backside of the Co-operative building. This Karachchi Co-operative building was being used for the temporary storage for all the stock belonging to other Co-operative shops from the displaced areas. The stock was strewn around this building awaiting reorganization when the artillery shells hit the building,” the statement added.

“The Sri Lanka military, it appears, is ever ready to treat all stock belonging to Tamils as a threat and does not hesitating to destroy them,” a political wing of the Tamil Tiger terrorists accused.

Meanwhile, troops of Army 57 division entered into the Murikandi general area located 4 km South of Akkarayankulama tank on the Southern Western Mullaittiuvu yesterday evening (Sept 4).
