During last 24 hours, UN's World Health Organization has raised the alert over Swine flu to level five.
The Swine Flu outbreak has so far claimed 159 lives in Mexico, and started to spread all over the world rapidly.
Since incoming foreign nationals to Sri Lanka easily can be Swine flu carriers, EFT strongly plea, Sri Lankan government to possibly double check or delay the foreign nationals entering NFZ or Civilian camps to safeguard the innocent civilians / Sri Lankan forces from unwanted health issues.

Government suspends conventional operations
The GoSL has made an announcement via the MOD that conventional operations are over, conventional operations refer to infantry push backed by mechanised armour, artillery support, HMG fire and CAS. We can assure our readers that the cessation of conventional operations does not equal to a cessation of non conventional operations such as SF and LRRP missions. We expect the Government to make an announcement later on Tuesday or Wednesday justifying the end of routine combat operations, it will be good news for all.
What we can say for now is that SF teams have started a major push today. VP is said to be hiding in the Karayamullivaikkal area. Intel expect more and more cadres (including hardcore cadres and leaders) to surrender the closer Special Forces get to VP's location. Already 50 cadres have surrendered, what you read about and saw on TV is only the tip of the iceberg - there are many more senior leaders and hardcore cadres who have surrendered, publicity is not being given in order to protect their identities. VP is said to be changing his location from time to time as he knows that those who flee willingly provide information on his whereabouts. The remaining cadres are fighting back with light arms only, most of their heavy weapons have been captured and they have run out of ammo for the remaining heavy weapons.
The GoSL is bent on capturing or killing VP, that objective has not changed and will not change no matter what the international community or political jokers in Tamil Nadu say or do.
The SBS of the SLN is the SLA equivalent of SF and Commandos. They are the best in the Navy, they have joined in the operations. Some Naval equipment are being moved towards the South East so that we can safe guard the sea area. We have captured one of the main radar centres belonging to LTTE.
We cannot divulge any more information, rumour mills are flowing and speculation is rife, some maybe proven correct....

Sunday Column - Government rejects LTTE's unilateral ceasefire
Cornered Tigers want a respite
The REMAINING Tigers are holed up in a small bushy area in a corner of Vellamullivaikkal. Knowing full well that they are close to being eliminated, they have declared a unilateral ceasefire to give themselves a chance to flee either to the Mullaitivu jungles or out of Sri Lanka. They are also attempting to fool the world into thinking that they are concerned for the "plight" of civilians. They are specifically trying to show off to the UN official John Holmes who is currently in Sri Lanka that the LTTE has a human side. However, they are oblivious to the fact that the whole world has been shown footage of them firing at civilians. As soon as the Tigers declared their ceasefire through their TINA outlet - Tamilnet, the Government immeadiately rejected it through an announcement made by the Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapakse.
Current estimates put the Tiger strength at around 200 hardcore cadres and around 2,000 civilian militia, a human shield numbering about 15,000 surrounds them. However, these 15,000 civilians are willingly staying with the LTTE, the shield consists of Mahaveer families who are die-hard LTTE supporters. Mahaveer or not, these are civilians and hence the SLA is proceeding with caution into the remaining NFZ area. If we attack the NFZ without the concern for civilian casualties, the operations may come to an abrupt end due to severe international pressure, hence the current low intensity battles is just right. The Mahaveer families are misguided and brainwashed souls, they are hoping for a BJP victory in the Indian Polls. They believe a BJP led government would militarily intervene in Sri Lanka and give them Eelam, the fat and old former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister cum retired melodramatic B movie actress Jayalalitha Jayaram has made statements to this effect. The decrepit and senile current Chief Minister Karunanidhi has also made statements in support of the LTTE. Both statements are seen as vote grabbing ploys. Delhi has dismissed the statements made by these two political jokers. Delhi is keen not to see dangerous precedents set, if this continues they might have politicians making statements in support of Al Qaeda and Taleban to curry favour with sections of the Muslim voter base, moves which will upset the BPO partners and hardline Hindu nationalists.
The Indians conclude their show of face trip
India's Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon and National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan have concluded a visit to the Island. The objective of their surprise visit was shrouded in msytery and the MOD maintains a veil of secrecy around the outcomes. However, we can set minds of our readers at ease by stating that the visit was NOT intended to request the GoSL to stop ongoing operations. The Indians did request a media blackout on ongoing operations so as not to upset the vast uneducated Tamil Nadu voter base. Therefore, there have been tremendous successes in the battle front which EFT cannot reveal. Secretly, the Indians want the LTTE to perish, the Congress led Government has no sympathy with the LTTE.
To satifsy the Sri Lankan voter base, the MOD has revealed the capture of Valayarmadam and thrwating of a Sea Tiger attack, SLAF operations are getting zero publicity. There is a lot more going on! Just be patient.

The Indians are at it again
Political posturing by the Congress led Indian Government is at an all time high. Two months ago, the Indians issued statements and provided material support to the GoSL which led the whole world to believe that the Indians (or at least the majority of them) are fully behind Sri Lanka’s war on terror. Secretly, the Congress Kingmakers (Sonia Gandhi and Co.) are keen to see the LTTE wiped off the face of the earth. However, to keep the coalition Kingmakers happy (Karunanidhi and Co.) in light of the upcoming elections, the Indians have issued statements contradicting their earlier stance. The Indians have requested the GoSL to go easy on the LTTE at least till the elections are over, the calls to give respite to the LTTE are packaged in fake concerns for the “plight” of civilians. Political analysts believe that India has no genuine concern for the civilians' safety and well being, its just a vote grabbing exercise.
Whatever be the case, Indian intervention at this stage will not be welcome. Last time the Indians intervened, it ended in disaster and resulted in more than two decades of further suffering. We almost had VP in Operation Vadamarchchi in 1987, but this was scuttled by inedible rice and curry air drops. France and Britain are also gesturing about possible “humanitarian” intervention – they are all after the untapped uranium, titanium, phosphorous and possible hydrocarbon deposits.
But its not all bad news, we have a saviour in the shape of China. This superpower will ensure that that neither India, France, Britain or the US will violate Sri Lanka’s sovereignty. Furthemore, it will take about two weeks for foreign forces to obtain approval from their respective governments to intervene, by that time the LTTE will be pulverized.
We at EFT strongly believe that foreign governments, including India will not intervene militarily or provide refuge to VP. India especially as they don’t want to have two enemies (Sri Lanka and Pakistan) on their borders along with China breathing down their necks. The socio-economic and geo political landscape has changed dramatically from what it was when the Indians intervened in 1987. Almost all Sri Lankans want the SLDF to crush the Tigers, any attempts by the Colombo politicians to try and curtail the current operations will be frowned upon, thus the UPFA risks losing power if the offensives are stopped. The Indians will also not be forgiven by their own citizens for intervening again, they have vested economic interests in Sri Lanka, the big business (for e.g. Airtel and IOC) don't want Sri Lanka to be destabilised, its all abouy the money!
Defence observers say that the war will be over in about 7 days, fierce fighting is going on, the remaining LTTE held area is heavily mined and booby trapped. VP is cowering behind 15,000 civilians, so the operations are slower than everyone wants them to be and harvesting is difficult. All SLDF resources are focussed on killing or capturing VP and ensuring that he does not flee.

Short Update
53rd and 58th are on the verge of merging, some terror pockets remain near Ampalavanpokkanai. After flushing out the remaining terrorists, the divisions will merge and it may happen later tonight or early morning tomorrow.
Intel suggests that VP is alive and has about 15,000 civilians sorrounding him as a human shield. He is guarded by about 200 die hard hardcore cadres. The cadres are holding the civilians againts their will. The mechanised infantry brigade is expected to launch attacks on Prabha's area.
Situation is fluid, await further updates....

All set to invade pig sty
Breaking News @ 16:55 SL time
Answering British Pro LTTE supportive MP Simon Hughes British PM said, he has spoken with the president of Sri Lanka. President has accepted aids "cross party delegation basis ".
Breaking News @ 10 BST
Daya Master surrended to SLA.
There are few more surrended (Very high ranked with LTTE) with Daya master. Once ready for the public domain will update. So please wait ....
A few days ago we did not expect that many Civilians... Now we did not expect this many LTTE gang to turn up in our door step...
Still not ready for the public domain. We need to welcome those visitors before show their faces to world.
Updated @ 16:20 SL Time
Civillian count reached 100,000.
More details to follow...
###########
The 58th has merged with the 55th. The next stop in the unstoppable march is Valayanmadam, there the 53rd will merge too, and possibly TF8, the merger may happen tonight. Following the merger, we expect all units to march south towards VP’s bovine abode in Vellamullivaikkal. The 59th will not join the party, they will hold their defensive positions. The 59th is defending a difficult narrow front, it’s the Mullaitivu equivalent of the Jaffna MKN axis. We also expect the SBS to join in the action and support the SLA. Offensive naval manoeuvres are all set to go tomorrow. SLAF will provide CAS but may not engage in bombing missions due to the civilian factor. However, they did carry out pin point strikes yesterday using their latest arsenal of laser guided munitions. Its all systems go for the SLDF.
SF and LRRP have invaded almost all parts of the NFZ, they are running amok, its literally like a scene from the playground where big bullies are running after wimpy little boys – they are thoroughly enjoying the challenge, this is what they were waiting for.
There is some intense speculation and rumours flying around that Friday will be declared a national holiday in united Sri Lanka, as we don’t yet have any substantiated and credible information, we refuse to add fuel to the fire. BUT there is no smoke without fire, and the smoke smells like BBQ pork.
