MUHAMALE & KILALY FDLS CAPTURED SMASHING CONVENTIONAL BELIEF [November 20 2008]

JAFFNA: SMASHING the conventional notion that the Tamil Tigers’ (LTTE) Forward Defence Lines (FDLs) in MUHAMALE and KILALY cannot be challenged, valiant troops in JAFFNA this morning (20) overran the first LTTE Forward Defence Line in the strategic bottleneck and the lagoon to the north and south of the A-9 JAFFNA-KANDY Highway, killing over fifty Tiger terrorists.

Tiger terrorists were putting up sustained and fierce resistance against troops, moving towards them using all possible terrorist means in the past few days, but the troops faced their front assaults with courage and determination until their first defences miserably fell to the Army hands by early this morning (20).
