Thousands cross lagoon escaping LTTE grip amidst Fire

Can't report what I know right now!

Brace up people!!!!!! Just brace up and wait.

THE END IS NEAR!!!

Great news and end is near for everything. Lets see what will be the new theories of pro-LTTE authors will do now. Thanks for the vital post

The advancing  Army heard huge explosions in the area where the LTTE leadership is hiding followed by thick black smoke seen rising up on the ground. They said after that LTTE radio communication went silent.

Specially in conventional warfare, when the defending troops (in this case, terrorists) know that their position/s will be overrun by the enemy, they destroy equipment/documents etc which would be vital to the enemy. As per the report, if the LTTE radio communications have gone silent, it can be assumed that the end is very near. Normally, the communications set up is the last to go.

Or, it may be that the brave Prabhakaran, strapped himself with the "mother of all suicide bombs" and blew himself up in the same way he got many terrorist cadres to do.

I visualize that all equipment other than the weapons and ammo, if the terrorists have decided to stand and fight will be remaining now. All the other stuff would have been disposed of by way of exploding them.

Wonder what happened to all those Cyanide vials? Any guesses?

Yes.

They have to fire right round because they are surrounded now. Brigadier Prasanna De Silva advanced his Division from the South, thus completing the encirclement.

As the Govt troops are very close to the terrorists, advance by day becomes more and more difficult, specially because of sniper fire and  fire from the terrorists who are more or less static and behind some sort of cover. The SL forces are on the move, exposed to the enemy. I foresee more dawn and dusk advances. However, the SL forces know what they are doing and I think the war is almost over.

Normally, flammable liquids, petroleum products and also plastics produce black smoke. In general, a hotter fire will convert more fuel into elemental carbon, which forms into tiny particles that absorb light and appear in the sky as black smoke. This is how we see black smoke when a car catches fire.

Perhaps, they are exploding their fuel stock  or vehicles.(Where can Prabha's Limo go now?)

Regarding as to what the explosion was: Not yet. But we will know very soon.

Hope this helps.

This is possible.

Wondering what Prabha is thinking now.

Remember how Hitler died?

Update:

SKR reported on Rupavahini that 3 female suicide cadres who were sent forward to blow themselves up among Army and escaping civilians have surrendered instead of blowing up.

He also reported that Military suspects LTTE may have sent some of those Civilians who escaped, willingly. Those who were close to LTTE may have been sent willingly, while the innocents may have been kept with them - a suspicion due to the fact that most civilians who came today seemd well fed and don't seem to have suffered.

Good one, Hiranya.

There are LTTE cadres who were active LTTE cadres amongst the IDPs. This is why every displaced  person have to be thoroughly investigated before clearing them as a non Terrorist Civilian.

As of now, there are many ex? LTTE cardres who have confessed to 'have been' active terrorist members.

Thank you for the post.

Not only IDPs, I think countries like Canada, UK, Australia should start investigating on the people who were openly protesting, not for IDPs, but to protect LTTE by waving the LTTE flags.

Some of them might be innocent, however it is highliy likely that the organisers of those events to have a direct link with LTTE and even with other terrorist organisations. I do not have facts to prove this statement, it is just that what I think as a possibility given the scale of funding, arms smuggling, media support, europian political backing that these people had.

Also SOME of the europian politicians may have strong backing from these terrorist groups by way of funding political campaigns and personal business interests. Within next few days, we'll see the end of war in Sri Lanka, will that mean it will end in west? These people will try something out in Europe to find ways to fund terrorism, probably in Europe and Canada.

Toronto could be a great target for Tamils to make the next homeland claim because the tamils who have migrated by various ways to Canada, most of them are strong Ealam supporters. 

Since they have sacrificed generations by supporting LTTE for this and failed, now they will look in to other options. It is highly likely that the plans are already in place. It is difficult to do this in India, Sri Lanka without taking arms because of the way south asian politics work. It is too hard and any funding towards this will be a waste for tamils because even they find a breakthrough with one south asian government, things can change with the next government that comes to power.

I would also think and feel it is not the same in western countries. Tamil Ealam supporters can always find a way and once you win your rights, it is secured. It is like Asylam Seekers. All they have to do is to somehow step in to these countries. They get all facilities, benefits and the life is secured more than anywhere in the world.

Just my thinking only. Don't ask me to provide facts to prove my claims.

Shame on you David Wright Miliband, Shame on you!!! Look at what you have done? You knew this is coming and you were pushing UN to pressure the Sri Lankan government to stop the bloody war instead of you pushing YOUR LTTE contacts in Europe, Canada, US and Australia to release the civilians and to surrender. You spent your time on flying around, calling your LTTE connections like Pathmanadan (KP) and plotting plans to somehow stop the final attack. Do you have children? How can you sleep when you know that you did the wrong thing and supported terrorists to hold the civilians to die with them? It is estimated still over 1000 innocent civilians are trapped and the LTTE will go for a suicide mission with these people so that it can make a case at least to win some sympathy for this wasteful war. Yes, those innocent civilians will go to history as the price paid to end this bloody conflict for generations to come. LTTE used them for 30 years and don't they deserve at least a chance to live? Your governments are playing this game in Middle East, Africa, Iraq, and Afghanistan and now in Sri Lanka. How do you feel now Milliband? Do you want to stop this war now and allow LTTE to regroup? Talk.. Speak the truth.. at least now. Shame on you and you could have saved these people if you did the right thing. You didn't and you played your political game. Once this war ends, Sri Lankans should declare a 7 day period to remember all soldiers who sacrificed and all innocent Tamil civilians who sacrificed for the betterment of future generations. You David Milliband.. go and find another conflict to play your dirty war games.
