Colombo : Sri Lanka Air Force Fighter Jets in a low flying mission in the East of Iranamadu Tank in Kalmadukulama area in Kilinochchi have raided the terror hub ‘X-ray Base’ Wednesday morning, Air Force sources said.
According to Air Force Spokesperson Wing Commander Andi Wijesoriya, the air sorties were carried out on information obtained through real-time air surveillance and ground reconnaissance.
Also, he said that the targeted location has been a regular visiting place of terror chief V. Prabhakaran.
Fighter pilots have confirmed that the target was accurately hit, he added.
Defence intelligence sources said that the air raid was timed to coincide with “special” activity that was going on at the LTTE base. However, the sources refrained from commenting further on the issue.
Also, the sources said, the targeted terror hub was located in a thick jungle patch, North of LTTE’s “runaway” in Iranamadu.
The area has been long demarcated as a “high security zone” and a “no go” area for civilians, the sources added. It is also reported that most of the LTTE carders were also not aware of such a hideout of their leader.
