Leader of the "Charles Antony" brigade of
the LTTE Amuthab, and former leader of the
same brigade Gobith were killed in fighting
in Puthukkudyiruppu, defence sources
confirmed today.
The two slain LTTE leaders were known to be
the most battle hardened fighters in the
band.
Gobith was replaced by Amuthab few months
back as a result of a dispute he had with
the LTTE leadership.
