THE GLOVES COME OFF

SLAF destroys LTTE arms and ammunition storage in air strike

and the same day attacks Tamil Tiger Leaders' gathering place

AP says..

"...COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Air force fighter jets bombed five Tamil Tiger rebel positions in northern Sri Lanka on Wednesday while infantry clashes across the region killed 26 rebels and four soldiers, the military said.

Fighters pounded the headquarters of the Charles Anthony Brigade — an elite rebel infantry unit — and another base housing female fighters in the Tiger stronghold of Kilinochchi district, said Wing Commander Janaka Nanayakkara, an air force spokesman.
Hours later, the air force attacked logistics and administrative facilities in Kilinochchi, the military said.

Early Wednesday, the air force bombed a jungle hide-out in the Mullaitivu district believed to be used by leaders of the Tamil rebels, he said..."

And then AP goes into its political policy statement viz-a-viz Sri Lanka in which it asserts discrimination for decades by the majority against the minority as the root cause of Sri Lanka's terrorist issues. Until now Sri Lanka has failed to take any decisive action against AP. SLG should look into the prospect of challenging them in court, since in this case the onus would be on the media institution to prove what it has been deliberately publishing over a long period of time, knowing that its repeated negative assertions has a detrimental effect on the island nation's image. Perhaps it is time to neuter AP.
