LTTE STARTING TO LOSE CONTROL OVER ITS HUMAN SHIELD

NEWS filtering in from various sources indicate that the LTTE is fast losing control over the civillians held forcibly in the Wanni.

A crowd of over 70,000 had attempted to move into the government controlled areas yesterday and the LTTE had opened fire to stop them. Over 10 have been killed in this incident while a large number injured. Some of the civillians somehow had managed to escape the LTTE cordon and reached government areas.

As news of the shooting spread in the refugee camps, an LTTE child soldier recruiter who was masquerading as a civillian had been identified by the Tamil civillians and severely assaulted. This person has now been transfered into a different location.

In the meanwhile pro-LTTE media is on a whirlwind campaign to blame the deaths caused by the LTTE shooting as having been caused by an artillery attack by the SLA.
