opened fire at a group of civilians fleeing the ‘Safe Zone’ on six boats
in Chalai yesterday.
Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said the LTTE opened
fire indiscriminately at the civilians who were seeking protection with
the Security Forces.
He said three boats landed at Kevil in the Chundikulam area with 78
displaced civilians including wounded civilians. Meanwhile, Naval troops
who spotted the other three boats with the bodies of three civilians
towed the boats to Munai in Jaffna.
The three civilians had been shot on their chests and heads.
