Vidattaltivu Liberated; terrorists suffer fatal blow - says SL Defence Dept web site http://defence.lk/new.asp?fname=20080715_11
Vidattaltivu's fall to the SL Armed Forces narrows down the LTTE's sea-access to a strip of approx. 30 miles northward of this area. Though the beaches are wide and boats can launch and be retrieved easily, there aren't that many paved roadways that would facilitate transportation of any heavy equipment from these areas.
The strike on this Sea-Tiger base appears to have been well co-ordinated between the SLA and the SLAF. Unlike in previous attacks the strike had been designed to cause maximum damage to the retreating LTTE forces and well executed. While the govt. media claims over 60 LTTE killed, exact numbers are not yet known.
