Forces retaliate against LTTE attacks The army yesterday shelled the LTTE forward defence line in Vavunathivu, Batticaloa after the Security forces came under LTTE mortar attack. A military officer said the Tigers fired mortars and small arms at the army forward defence line in Vavunathivu yesterday morning. " We retaliated with mortars and small arms fire," he said. The LTTE earlier built a bunker close to the security force's forward defence against which the army has lodged a complaint at the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission. Meanwhile a police constable was shot dead in Vavuniya last night. An LTTE gunman shot the policeman who was on duty in a sentry point.(RJ)
