Bloody Friday
killer squad dead
Four LTTE suicide squad members yesterday blew themselves up when
commandos raided the Serpentine flats at Wanathamulla where they were holed up since
fleeing Rajagiriya after a brief but bloody skirmish that left three terrorists, 14
civilians and six policemen dead.
Army headquarters spokesman said that the four wearing explosive packed jackets
detonated devices during the raid ordered after several hours of sporadic exchange of
gunfire between the terrorists and the security forces. |
