A LTTE terrorist committed suicide
when troops were about to arrest him at general area Koyiyathottam,
Gurunagar in Jaffna this morning (January 13). Troops were
engaged in a cordon and search operation in the area around
1.20.a.m. on reliable information received, security sources
said.
According
to the defence sources in Jaffna, LTTE elements have been
making continuous attempts to infiltrate into the peninsula,
in desperate motives to cause mayhem targeting civilians
and military.
In
a subsequent search operation conducted in the area, troops
uncovered a T-56 assault rifle along with four magazines,
two hand grenades and few other warlike items, Jaffna military
sources said.
