EFT can reveal that Rekthavaikkal is fully not under SLA control, however SLA expects to take full control and clear the area by end of today. Rekthavaikkal foiled the last hope of the LTTE to flee to the jungle. Only escape route for LTTE now, by sea or land in the rear of 55, or breaking the 59 strong defence line.
Meanwhile chemical drums have been found in a sandy area of the NFZ. These chemical have been sent to labs for identification purposes. Full report will be made public soon. EFT sources indicate that these chemicals were to be used by the LTTE against the advancing SLA.
The remaining area is almost a no go area for SLA troops during day time due to heavy weapons fire from the depleted tigers. Therefore most of the missions are conducted during late night and into the early hours thus avoiding heavy weapon fire and LTTE snipers.
SLA expects to rescue over 10,000 civilians during next few days. EFT can reveal that LTTE naval fire power is still strong, SLN is fighting on a daily basis with the sea tigers and are preventing them from fleeing. (Keep up the good work Navy!).
59 is concentrating more on defensive than becoming offensive, but positioned to break in at any given time as requirement arise.
Currently there are no gaps in NFZ / Sea routes. Therefore SLA might prefer to keep the 59 division in active defence mode with out letting terror leaders to flee.
SLA has found out the truth about the captured iron rack, which the media were told was a tunnel. Due to obvious reasons, EFT cannot reveal more at this point.
While War continues, SL Government has sent another shipement of food and medicinet for NFZ based civilians, via ICRC.
Finally, for the international community, USA has proven how easy accident can happen when dealing with terrorists.

Yes, the bombing of innocents anywhere is a tragedy but to their credit the Americans have owned up to a number of their mistakes on the ground and in their planning whereas the GoSL refuse to admit any mistake in the least and expect Sri Lankans and the IC to buy into their own propaganda.
By adopting this strategy they hand needless victories to the LTTE propaganda machines of the Diaspora who in turn churn it into usable leverage against the Government.
A great example is the entire debate on how many hostages were and still are in the NFZ. The GoSL looked bad when their estimates were proven terribly wrong and they have done nothing to address this continued problem of getting caught up in a net of their own weaving.
Let the international press corps in to see for themselves the cruelness of the LTTE and the care with which the Armed Forces are (supposedly) bringing to a horribly difficult and complex situation.
Time to use the strength of truth to its ultimate advantage instead of expecting everyone to take the poorly coordinated and considered press releases of various Government mouthpieces at face value.

Another 800 meters remain to liberate innocent Tamil Civilians
Thu, 2009-05-07 17:24
Hilary Rajakarunanayake - Sri Lanka Editor, Asian Tribune
Colombo, 07 May, (Asiantribune.com): Army sources revealed that another 800 meters remain on the right side of the No Fire Zone to reach the point where the remaining innocent Tamil civilians are held hostages and to liberate them from the iron clutches of the LTTE .
Troops belonging to 58 Division, engaged in the world's largest hostage rescue mission operation, has captured part of the LTTE built earth bund at Karayamulliavaikkal and further advanced into the ‘No Conflict Zone’, defence sources said.
Infantrymen of 10 Gajaba Regiment who advanced towards Karayamulliavaikkal yesterday,( 6 May), have captured a part of the LTTE built earth bund by the early hours this morning, following heavy confrontation with the LTTE, defence sources added.
Military officials in the battlefront further said that LTTE desperately attempted to stop the advance march of the security forces by launching indiscriminate fire, using heavy weapons mounted in the ‘No Conflict Zone’.
In the meantime, on the right side of the Wellamulli Waikkal area, the 58th Division armed forces have dismantled the heavily mined earth bund.
Military sources also revealed that this was the last earth bund to be dismantled. Once this is done, the task of liberating the innocent Tamil civilians held hostages would be completed. This operation has been going on since last night. The 10th Gajaba regiment and the 7th Sinha regiment are assisting in this operation.
The troops have already removed the land mines and anti-personal mines littered along the earth bund by the LTTE.
Meanwhile sources said that Sri Lanka Army’s 53rd Division is advancing along the A 35 road and the 59th Division is targeting the LTTE in the Mullaitivu – Wadduwakal area.

"Yes, the bombing of innocents anywhere is a tragedy but to their credit the Americans have owned up to a number of their mistakes on the ground and in their planning whereas the GoSL refuse to admit any mistake in the least and expect Sri Lankans and the IC to buy into their own propaganda."
Really, how do they own it? Is it by saying "we are deeply deeply sorry" or something? US have been doing this kind of deeply deeply regrettable things in foreign lands all the way along. One clear cut deeply deeply regrettable event was bombing of Al-Jazeera station in Baghdad in 2003 even when it's coordinates were known. Perhaps, you can start another disinformation campaign to understand what US had done in foreign lands and their hypocrisy.

The cogent point isn't really about American hypocrisy and far be it from me to forgive them their many failings in adhering to the vaulted principles they lay claim to.
The issue at hand is the failing of the GoSL to embrace a more open and transparent means of getting the truth out to a world that has little access to it.
This paucity of verifiable information only serves to reinforce and promote the propaganda of the LTTE and their supporters around the world.
As I have stated here and elsewhere in the past... the GoSL seemed far better prepared to win on the ground but ill-prepared to win the greater political and PR battles that clearly laid ahead of them.
Had the GoSL been better prepared for the inevitable flood of IDP's... and they could easily have left the costs and logistics to concerned nations in the manner of the Indian Medical assistance... they would not be stuck with the predictable problems affecting the internment camps.
These problems will be the next focus of LTTE propaganda as soon as the Military wipe out the LTTE leadership as is their stated goal.
Shouldn't such obvious stress points be protected ahead of time instead of fumbling along and playing catch-up with something you knew was eventually to be upon you?
++><++
Misinformation, is it US or Sri Lanka who has been more successful at defeating terrorism? Why take up policies of a failed entity? Don't go and fix something that already works fine.
IMHO it is US's extensive media covergae of the wars that is making them loosing the war on terrorism.
Miss Information
"Cogent" and "Paucity", big words, are you trying to impress Biling Sam?
"Vaulted Principles", ha ha ha, are you a failed neo leftist liberal intellectual? You remind me of the Una Bomber.
Wickramabahu Karunaratne, Kumar Rupesinge, Brian Seneviratne all in the same boat as you!
All failed intelectuals had trouble getting to the point, just like you, your name befits you.
Pottu,
I call this kind of monkeys "crack heads." Unable to comprehend that there is no ideal world, they try to gloss over their BS with lots of hair splitting arguments and words used only in GRE.
isurujosh,
There was a fake isurujosh under ID 11999824068843294370 in Defencewire a few days ago. He was talking BS all over. We discovered him in timely manner do that the others knew he was a terrorist in disguise. I have not seen that monkey lately.

You missed my point... I am not holding the U.S. to some high standard, only saying the GoSL should be working to one.
You might note that if one is comparing the apples to oranges "wars on terror" of the U.S. and the GoSL, the war with the LTTE is not yet over and has taken the better part of thirty years to make it this far.
That gives the American "war on terror" another twenty years or so by your poor measures.
Another area of significant difference is that in Sri Lanka the enemy is contained to a small island and the GoSL can behave with impunity because they control and censor the news.
<><>
Mahen,
Had there been heavy casualties on the army today. I heard quite a number of ambulances heading towards Sri J'pura hospital today eve. I know you're getting distracted by the usual crap of 'dis info' but shed some light on this.
Decoy,
If you live near by the hospital why don't you poke in and find out?
Ask a sekka at the gate... hak hak
i have been quite buzy since of late with my job and therefore have not had the time to visit blogs. i knew there was a fake isurujosh for quite a some time now. they surely did not like the way i attacked them in puligal and DW, so their natural response is to fake lol
Dis Information,
Just cut the crap. You are just a tiny doofus trying to use hard to understand words and phrases. Using such words and phrases will not take your comments anywhere other than garbage bins.
For your information, my forces are fighting an enemy in my homeland where my ancestors used to live. The enemy has near conventional military capabilities. We fight for sovereignty and territorial integrity of our homeland.
"I am not holding the U.S. to some high standard, only saying the GoSL should be working to one."
WTF, a US invasion force killing thousands of civilians are not held to same high standards, specially when it comes to preaching what they don't practice?
Little monkey, keep this 2 Sri Lankan cents to buy some clues before you chime in next time. Those clues you need are very cheap.
misinfo, i don't think we'd have had to wait to 30 years if the war was fought with the same resolve as it is now. after all this huge downfall of LTTE came about in just 3 years or so from their pinnacle.
it was during those days that a quite a few ambulances from Ratmalana sent shock waves all around and stopped operations. a war has to be fought with great resolve and if the resolve is compromised by bad press then the flow of information should be controlled. i am sure we'd not have come this far if we hadn't controlled the flow of information to our advantage.
you live in a hypothetical and ideal world. you're so dettached of ground realities.
Miss information,
Don't cry ma babe..
GoSL is doing exactly what is should do. i.e. politics.
So now you are censoring me here Mahen?
Why?

True, but it took a quarter century of failure to get there... either way it cannot be compared to other terrorist conflicts easily.
The American "war on terror" involves a number of countries, huge open borders and a variety of state and non-state actors across a much bigger geographic landscape.
We will see in another twenty-five years how that outcome will compare to the outcome in Sri Lanka.

Dis Information the terrorist scummy,
"You have quite a way with words Sam and sure know how to stop a well elucidated argument in its tracks!"That is how a low life undercover terrorist like you will be treated. Your fake words of wisdom mean nothing to me. All what a terrorist like you deserve is death, nothing else.
__________________________________
If I deserve death what does Karuna deserve? Another Ministerial appointment?
I find it fascinating that you call me, a declared moderate and anti-LTTE crusader, a terrorist yet Karuna, who led wars against the country and engaged in countless acts of deprivation, is not on your ever present "who we must kill next list".
Your hatred has warped what little common sense you had and I feel a bit sorry for you. Have you thought to see a specialist for your problems?
Peace be upon you.
*wink*

Dis Information,
The day terrorist like you die will be the day peace will dawn in Sri Lanka. You can bring in by biting the cyanide capsule together with Thalaivar. I am willing to pitch in for your cyanide capsule. Please send me your real name and address and I will mail in the peace package as soon as possible.

I love China
Just ignore our educated friend "MISINFORMATION". Every once in a while you come across guys like this in life. Very good in critsising everything the others do and pointing out problems. But never good at thinking of a solution or seeing their own faults.
Proof to my above comment.
"Misinformation said,
Yes, the bombing of innocents anywhere is a tragedy but to their credit the Americans have owned up to a number of their mistakes on the ground and in their planning whereas the GoSL refuse to admit any mistake in the least and expect Sri Lankans and the IC to buy into their own propaganda."
Ever stopped to think that ,US being the world super power, has the ability to even admit mistakes on their part without being internationally pressurized to stop theem carrying out what they think is the best for them? As opposed to why Sri Lanka cannot admit a mistake (Even if one happens) being a tiny little nation who is being bullied by every major country to stop saving there own citizens?
Your arguments are sound in a theoretical perspective but are of very little practical value.
"Miss Information said
They are only big words to small minds and both were chosen for their succinctness and applicable nature.""
If you really care about the civilians caught in the battle perhapst your "Big mind" would be better put to use in thinking a way of persuading LTTE to let the civlians go so that even IF GOSL makes mistakes no harm would come to the civilians. Don't you agree my big minded friend Misinformation?
It consistently amazes me that 'patriots' like Sam want to insult and threaten a blogger like Miss Information, who is obviously sympathetic to Sri Lanka & its war effort.
Sam, FYI Miss Info is man who you should be attempting to influence & persuade, not threaten to take his life - for the sake of Sri Lanka.
I believe informed bloggers like Mango have an inkling of who Miss Info is.
Miss Info is trying to ensure you all have a healthy "reality testing" ability. He wastes his time on you because he wants to see this war won, and a strong, united SL emerge. Why do you not want to see this?
Pottu, a plush HC is always a pleasant place from which to absent ones self from reality, no?
Paul,
Help Sri Lanka? That is funny. You need to hang around little more to see the number of names and forms LTTE men use here.
Now we have intermediaries and intermediaries to intermediaries here!
Miss Information always cultivated disinformation here and nothing else. When you fight against a terrorist outfit, you fight. You don’t turn back and think whether we fight or not. YOU CAN”T STAND IN THE MIDDLE IN PLACE WHERE THERE IS NO MIDDLE TO STAND ON!. We fight now and we are winning.
See what you guys who pretend to be in the middle need to realize is, that there is no ETHNIC conflict here. This is a synthetic problem of the imperialist warmongers. We are fighting the coolie forces of these imperialist forces. This is not a problem between Sinhalese and Tamils. This is a problem of outsiders devising various methods to destroy Sinhalese and Tamil who live in this beautiful land. So we all fight to protect our country. If you are looking for an ethnic conflict, please go somewhere else, no ethnic conflict here.
When the coolies are losing (man, arn’t they pathetic! ), the so called intermediaries and intermediaries of intermediaries come here and preach us racial harmony and all that bullshit. We know how to live here with all other races. Don’t for god’s sake come and preach us as if you know all and we know nothing. We know way better than all you looser coolies. We know how to live, all Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims.
There is no ethnic conflict, I repeat. There are Sinhalese Tamils and Muslim patriots fighting a war against LTTE coolie forces made of Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, White and other traitors who try to divide this divine land for personal gains. As the history has always taken the side of the right and the just, we win and you loose!
Miss Information, Pottu, Samanthi, Paul and others,
Please stop insulting fellow bloggers in this blog, only EFT team members reserve the right to insult bloggers.
Fly a kite chena boys and ladies!
Modayas will always be modayas.
:))OO)):))))O)
Deshal,
Good one. Please remove the reference to Miss Information and make it generic, we will then publish in the side bar.
Any of you think that nothing is happening due to the Indian elections is sadly mistaken, lot going on behind the cover of the news blackout.
Hama denama Vesak koodu ellanawa wagei.
Raata suw dansalata yanawai okkomalla?
Now we have intermediaries and intermediaries preaching us the way forward!
When one fights against a terrorist outfit, you fight. You don’t turn back and think whether we fight or not. You can’t stand in the middle when there is no justifiable ”Middle” point to stand on. The truth is that we fight a war now and we are winning it.
What these guys who pretend to be in the middle need to realize is, that there is no ETHNIC conflict here. This is a synthetic problem of the imperialist warmongers. We are fighting the coolie forces of these imperialist forces. This is not a problem between Sinhalese and Tamils. This is a problem of outsiders devising various methods to destroy Sinhalese and Tamil who live in this beautiful land. So we all fight to protect our country. If somebody is looking for an ethnic conflict, please go somewhere else, because there is no ethnic conflict here!
When the coolies are losing (man, aren’t they pathetic! ), so called intermediaries and intermediaries of intermediaries come here and preach us racial harmony and all that sort of things which does not make sense now. We know how to live here with all other races. We know how to live, all Sinhalese, Tamils and Muslims. I repeat, we know how to live together happily ever after and please do not preach us as if we know nothing.
There is no ethnic conflict, I repeat. There are Sinhalese Tamils and Muslim patriots fighting a war against LTTE coolie forces made of Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims, White and other traitors who try to divide this divine land for personal gains. Usually, the history has always taken the side of the right and the just. So as natural, we (who fight to protect all nations in this land) win and the coolies and their intermediaries loose.
Hey Mahen,
Thanks for the comments. Removed all the referances, changed a bit and published.
Thanks Deshal.
Will publish once the chena boy returns.
Mahen anna, tharaha ganna epa hondey, habai anith blog karayo mukuth danne nathi wunahama umbatath news nehe ne?
Mahen ,
If there’s no news, why don’t you close shop and go for a Thosa?
No_Mess,
That is a very good idea, unfortunately I don't know whether the rest of the EFT team members have made other committments.
Another NFZ??

Thank you for the support as I see little of it here. The only thing Sam convinces me of is the need for extremists like him to stop acting like the LTTE. His barrage of death threats and demands for extra-judicial killings are precisely the sorts of things we expect and see from terrorists.
His actions are also a reminder that pure ignorance knows no political boundary.
