TOP LTTE member families have started to surrender to the SLDF. A large number of rank and file has also started to drop weapons to join the civillian exodus.
In the meanwhile three massive explosions have taken place where the Tiger honchos are dug in. Two of the explosions are from SLDF attacks on arms dumps of the LTTE while the third is speculated to be from an LTTE initiated destruction of own weapons storage. Spculation is rife that the LTTE also may have corralled a large number of civillians and blown them up, in a mass suicide to discredit the government.
The army's pincer movement to deny sea access to the LTTE has been completed by early Saturday. Media footage from the area shows that the LTTE has blown up a large number of vehicles etc in the area. Debunking all media reports claiming that SLDF artllery hit the civillian area, none of the houses in the area show any significant damage which would have been proof of such attacks. In fact most houses still have all of their red roof tiles intact, which would be an impossible had any artillery struck the area.
