Pro-LTTE web exposed on cheap propaganda- Military spokesperson

posted by Editor at

Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara on Wednesday (27) addressing a media briefing held at MCNS said, the frustration of the LTTE terror outfit was now very much evident following heavy defeats in the Wanni and Northern fronts. In the wake of its imminent, defeat the Tiger media stooges are carrying out false propaganda to hoodwink the international community, he remarked.
Brigadier Nanayakkara was referring to a revelation made by defence.lk exposing LTTE cheap propaganda on a photograph displayed by a pro-LTTE website on 30 January. The web site has posted a photograph of a youth claiming that it was a mutilated body of a SLA soldier named N. Kumara, 25, on the outskirts of Mannar.
But, the identical photograph was portrayed on a website, http://www.world.mht/, two years ago claiming that the youth in the photograph was killed in Iraq and belonged to the Haditha tribe, the spokesperson added.
These lame propaganda efforts were nothing new as these are the only reservations left for the outfit to save its face while satisfying its' terror sympathizers and diaspora community.
Meanwhile, Brigadier Nanayakkara also pointed, that the civilians living in the Kilinochchi and Mullaittivu districts are forced out of base hospitals as the LTTE leadership has ordered hospital authorities in the non-liberated areas to give preferences to wounded LTTE cadres. There is a looming humanitarian catastrophe in these non-liberated areas, and security forces are determined to end the human suffering at the hands of LTTE, he said.
He further said that the LTTE leadership has avoided attending the funerals of senior Tiger terrorists, fearing air strikes.
During offensives launched ahead of LTTE defences by SLA in Welioya last week, LTTE suffered major setbacks. SLA made preparations to handover 26 bodies of LTTE terrorists killed during confrontations in the Wanni front over to ICRC, he further stated. The bodies were later handed over to LTTE on Tuesday(26), the spokesperson said.
The positive expectations of the innocent Tamils of an LTTE defeat have triggered a civilian exodus from non-liberated territory. Many families have sought protection with security forces at the joint Navy and Police marshalling point in Pallaimunai, Mannar, Brigadier Nanayakkara said.
