SRI Lankan Defence Forces are closing in on multiple fronts and the news is that the LTTE leader Velupillai has hightailed it out of the war zone, leaving the rank and file to defend his 'Suriya devan' (God of the Sun) title and self-proclaimed 'sole-representative of the Tamil people' status with their lives. Quick to decamp when cornered, this guy has always been good at getting conscripts to take the heat and die so that he can get away safely.
Meanwhile the SLAF was given a tip off by 'Wanni sources', typically moles within the LTTE about a gathering of Tiger top rungers at a house owned by Soosai, the sea-tiger leader. Jet fighters struck the house while a surveillance aircraft kept vigil overhead to ensure that no one escaped. Soon afterwards, a back-hoe was seen desperately attempting to dig through the demolished house to access an under-ground bunker. A second air strike by the SLAF destroyed the earth moving equipment as well as causing more casualties to the terrorists.
