LTTE refuse monitoring mission inspection

The Sri Lanka Navy during early hours on August 16 spotted a trawler moving under suspicious circumstances off Chalai close to Mullaitivu. The Navy craft, which detected this trawler mounted surveillance on the suspected trawler during which it observed a fibreglass dinghy moving alongside the trawler.

It also observed several boxes suspected to be containing military hardware being unloaded from the trawler to the dinghy, a press release from operational, headquarters Ministry of Defence said.

The Sri Lanka Navy informed the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) of the incident. The SLMM Monitors had tried to proceed to the Chalai area to inspect the trawler and examine the contents of the boxes but they were not allowed to do so by LTTE cadres. The Ministry of Defence expects to raise this matter with the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission.
