A
surge of civilian unrest against LTTE is imminent informed
sources at Wanni said citing separate incidents reported
from the non-liberated Kilinochchi and Mullaittivu districts
recently. The news comes in the midst of a probable fall
of the LTTE dictatorship in the Northern and Wanni region
following the continuation of humanitarian operations by
the armed forces.
The
situation at Wanni has already reached its 'critical mass'
and the LTTE leadership is shaken by the surge of anti-LTTE
sentiments among the Tamil community. The news of the military
victories against LTTE in the battle fronts has been reaching
the domestic households in Wanni and North despite desperate
efforts by the LTTE to restrict flow of information in the
region. The LTTE leadership has blamed the NGO and INGO
activists in the area and also sent dire warnings to the
GA's for not doing enough to convince the outer world through
propaganda of 'hardships caused to civilians due the military
operations'.
The
modus operandi of the LTTE in no revelation of its setbacks
to the world, though some under the tiger payroll in Colombo
are making loud claims on 'Humanity' and 'rights' following
the scripts written by their terror masters. With the necessity
not to reveal the identity of the sources for their own
safety from terror, defence.lk makes a revelation of the
dark world under LTTE tyranny and the new breed of 'freedom
seekers' challenging the tigers in its own den.
Attacks
at LTTE outposts in Kilinochchi and Mullaittivu by unidentified
gunmen have caused relentless fear in the tiger inner circles
who despite suspecting military infiltrations are now bamboozled
with a new form of shadow fighters within. Leaflets were
also been distributed among several coastal localities in
Kilinochchi a fortnight ago requesting civilians to stand
against LTTE, who are now relying on subtle tactics of using
civilians as human shields to reverse a sudden military
assault on the tiger heartland.
Several
LTTE foot patrols have also come under sudden small arms
attacks according to information received, while few other
tractors transporting LTTE were reported damaged following
similar attacks in the district of Kilinochchi causing over
a dozen of LTTE fatalities. These shadow fighters might
be those who were forced to fight against the security forces
and later rebelled against the outfit, demoralized due to
the lack of commitment from its leadership in Wanni, defence
officials state.
Civilians stand against LTTE:
LTTE
terrorists who went to hand over the body of a youth cadre
were assaulted by the relatives and neighbours at Seelan-kudiyirippu,
a fishing locality in Mullaittivu recently, reliable sources
said. The terrorists were chased away by the civilians with
clubs and stones, who cursed the LTTE for preying on their
young despite safe havens for the leaderships' children.
Similar
attacks on LTTE operatives nominated to attend funerals
were reported from several other locations in the Mullaittivu
district itself. Our sources said that much more is expected
to come as the once portrayed 'invincible' outfit is running
out of fire power to resist the intensifying military onslaughts
and the increasing civilian revulsion.
People
are no longer ready to endure LTTE cruelty as they have
identified this as a movement of 'revival or never' against
the LTTE tyranny, the sources said.
Earlier,
our informed sources revealed that the LTTE has commenced
armed training for both children and elderly in Wanni, so
as to use them as cannon fodder of the outfit to drag multiple
criticisms against any form of retaliation by the military.
This strategy is well noticed as the terrorists have fled
its most important administrative townships at Thunukkai,
Uyilankulama and Mulankavil with a large numbers of civilians
along with its artillery batteries source said.
People
have also assaulted 2 LTTE terrorists and damaged an office
building of the outfit at Kattadi-vayar area in Mullaittivu,
after the terrorists arrived at the village to handover
bodies of two child conscripts killed in confrontation with
security forces. People have also refused accepting the
LTTE funeral honours and one mother who has openly criticized
the LTTE was beaten by its operatives in the presence of
a large gathering our sources reveal. Her son was forcibly
abducted by LTTE and reportedly killed during fighting in
the Wanni battlefront.
LTTE death squads to hunt:
Meanwhile,
the LTTE has sent death squads to kill those who defy their
orders irrespective of the young and elderly inWanni. A
furious youth who resisted forced LTTE conscription following
his abduction from home, has reportedly assaulted his abductors
and consumed poison fearing reprisal from the outfit.
According
to latest information, LTTE has also sent down small groups
of terrorists to cut-off the Kokavil- Thunukkai road, restricting
the exodus of IDPs into liberated areas. The tiger leadership
has given clear instructions to eliminate any individual
or group who are defying their orders and reaching government
controlled areas, informed sources said.
The
terrorist outfit has also established a torture centre at
Ternakandal area, Kilinochchi with a dozen of torture cells
and underground bunkers to imprison and confine those captured
while fleeing the non-liberated region. The captured people
will be used as forced labour in the construction of bunkers
and trenches and some others will be used as human shields
along the routes frequented by its leadership it is learnt.
It
is no surprise that the LTTE is engineering a humanitarian
catastrophe and time has come for all responsible to urge
and pressurise the outfit to make immediate arrangements
for the safe access of these people into the liberated zones.
This is what they did in the fall of Madhu, and this is
the only 'know-how' approach of the organisation (LTTE),
defence observers state.
