LTTE admits Tactically of losing ground

LTTE on Tuesday tacitly admitted that they were losing ground in the face of a major military offensive by warning that thousands of civilians in the north were at risk.

In their first public acknowledgement that government forces were moving deeper into areas previously held by them.

"Persistent shelling in this area, where two weeks ago a large number of internally displaced people sought refuge, forced them to (move) again further inside Kilinochchi," the Tigers said, referring to their self-proclaimed political capital.

One must wonder why the LTTE is once again stating civilians all the time, is this an propaganda campaign for an attack on Civilians as they have done before??
