SLanka-Air Force-LTTE Camp
Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) fighter jets bombed a training facility of LTTE suicide bombers also known as Black Tigers located in the Iranamadu area, three kilometers southeast of Kilinochchi Wednesday morning.
"The terror camp was destroyed in the air raid carried out. The camp was in flames after the bombing mission," Sri Lanka's national news agency "Lankapuvath" reported from Colombo quoting Air Force spokesperson Wing Commander Janaka Nanayakkara.
Meanwhile, defence intelligence sources said the targeted "Black Tiger" camp was operated directly under guidance of LTTE's notorious intelligence wing leader Pottu Amman.
The target was obtained after receiving real time ground information that an activity of suicide bombers was going on at the camp, said the sources.
The exact location of the target was in the Thirivaiaru area, just 3 Km off from the LTTE's main stronghold at Kilinochchi, the sources added.
