UPDATE:
Sri Lankan security forces will continue with their humanitarian operations aimed at rescuing the remaining 15,000 to 20,000 people held hostage by the LTTE terrorists despite the decision taken to refrain from using heavy calibre weapons, said a senior defence official. The measure has been taken to ensure proper implementation of the Zero Civilian Casualty Policy, so far adapted the Sri Lankan armed forces during their counter terror mission, he further said.
Earlier GoSL said it has decided to end the offensive operations against the LTTE, using heavy weapons as to minimize civilian casualities.
Hereinafter the focus of the operations will be confined to saving the civilians held hostage by the terrorists.
COLOMBO (Reuters) - Sri Lanka on Monday said that combat operations would now be confined to using only small arms and rescuing civilians trapped in the war zone by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the president's office said.
"Government of Sri Lanka has decided that combat operations have reached their conclusion. Our security forces have been instructed to end the use of heavy caliber guns, combat aircraft and aerial weapons which could cause civilian causalities," a statement said.

Sri Lanka's state terror propaganda continues to say "humanitarian mission" while still bombing and shelling the trapped 160,000 Tamils civilians mercilessly. The TRO inside plead with the world leaders and aid agencies to stop the assault so that imminent deaths of at least 10,000 Tamils civilians will be avoided in such a crowded small sliver of area.
The fled Tamils civilians fate are not any better either as the Sri Lankan government continues to deny access to international aid groups. Over crowded and undeserved detention camps for these fled Tamils civilians don't have enough food, medicines or other necessities. Torture, rape and killings are the standard of life for these people held in the detention camps, said Medico International. The Sri Lankan government is running shops inside in way high prices to grab money from the displaced Tamils civilians. Tamils civilians are asking for monetary help or food supply from Tamils civilians living outside. Even basic items such sanitary supplies are scarce for these peopel.
Wow, making money on the war torn Tamils civilians. way to go for the "humanitarian mission" Rajapaksa !!!
Thees Tamils civilians are held in these detention camps indefinitely and not allowed to speak to outsiders and not allowed to go to any relatives or friends houses, even though many Tamils are willing to take them in.
Hip hip hooray for Sri Lankan State terrorist government's "humanitarian mission."

Senthil For the umpteenth time I urge you to take it up with your "sun "goat" to get the hostages released. Of course that is hard to expect from him or you who still perform CPR to dying terrorists. You "carnival barkers" lack brains to decipher just that.

You continue supporting your so called humanatarian mission !!

No matter how hard you "barkers" woof at the top of your "canine" lungs, the operations to free the remaing hostages from the clutches of the psychotic megalomaniac will continue.
