(LeN- 2006 Dec. 14. 12.00 pm)The Military yesterday accused the Tigers of using relief aid, including tents sent by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to uncleared areas in Vakarai, for military purposes.
"Tigers are using relief aid sent for the displaced people in Vakarai and we have evidence to prove it," military Spokesman Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe said.
He said that the security forces found evidence when last week they captured the LTTE Forward Defence Line (FDL) in Kaduwatte and Panichchankerni areas south of Vakarai.
"During the security forces' limited counter operation in these areas, we found tents and canopies with UNHCR markings, being used by the Tigers, as shelter for their bunkers. Some canopies were filled with sand to build bunkers," the spokesman claimed.
He said the following assurances from the Cease fire monitors, the Government allowed food supplies through local and foreign NGOs for the displaced people in uncleared in Vakarai from Manerni.
The spokesman said that they had also found a large stock of arms and ammunition in Kadjuwatta and Panichchankerni in abandoned bunkers, after the LTTE escape using human shields. "Already about 4,028 persons, including of 2,947 children, have entered Government controlled areas, seeking protection from the Security Forces," Brig Samarasinghe added.
