5100 civilians from LTTE human shield
Sri Lanka army sources say that around 5100 civilians
trapped in the LTTE run human shield in Wanni were rescued yesterday
(Feb 6).
According to the sources, the civilians had sought
refuge with the soldiers deployed in the Dharmapuram, Visuamadu and
Kuppilankuam areas. The soldiers after providing immediate medical care
and refreshments to the refugees had sent them to the welfare centres
elsewhere.
The army offensive elements continue to manoeuvre with
tact and care to the remaining LTTE hiding areas in Wanni providing more
escape routes to the civilians under the terror clutches.
