LTTE artillery destroys Thalladi Church, kills six soldiers [Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 08.25 GMT]
Artillery fired from LTTE positions have destroyed
the Thalladi Church and killed six soldiers this morning (12) said a
spokesman of the Media centre for National Security.
The soldiers have gone to the church at the request of the priests to assist in clearing the premises prior to a festival.
Defence Ministry sources said that LTTE mounted
artillery shell attacks on Thalladi town since 9.a.m. and nine
artillery shells have fallen on the church premises. Sri Lanka Army
retaliated with heavy gun fire towards identified LTTE artillery
positions in the non-liberated areas north of Mannar, defence
sources added.
