The LTTE had thwarted all the attempts of the SF into the LTTE held area attacks and the LTTE continued to offer stiff resistance killing hundreds of SF troopers.

Last month heavestfighting in the Muhamaalai – Killali access, SF troopers close to 200 well trained commandos while over six hundred SF troopers wounded and removed from the battle fronts.

Fighting has flared in recent months across the many front lines area in the north bordering the De Facto state of the LTTE. Sri Lankan government early this year unilaterally scrapped the truce pact which was signed between the LTTE and the GoSL in February 2002 under the Norway sponsor, which automatically also ended the only international monitoring mission.

The civil war in Sri Lanka killed at least 80,000 people most of them were ethnic Tamils while half a million people internally displaced and over million people externally displaced. At least 5,800 people have been killed in last two years alone, a right group said.
