[03 May 2000]

The Special Task Force recovered a bomb weighing around 30 kg, when Tigers attempted to blast the 350-foot long bridge connecting Kalawanchikudi and Batticaloa, yesterday, military sources confirm.  

Following the recovery of the bomb the STF shot at and killed two Tigers attempting to escape from a nearby location believed to be involved in the mission.  

The Security Forces personnel who searched the area afterwards discovered two hand grenades and pistols, they said.  

The bodies of the dead Tigers were handed over to the LTTE through the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), yesterday morning.
