In the wake of negotiations to be held in Geneeva between the Government
of Sri Lanka and the LTTE attempts by pro LTTE media groups have begun
to emerge aimed at disrupting talks.
Pro LTTE propaganda elements have disseminated a false news report
yesterday regarding a sea battle between the Navy and the Sea tigers
in the Kilali lagoon, Jaffna. The Sri Lanka Navy has confirmed that
there was no confrontation with the sea tigers in the Kilali bay. Naval
sources further stress that neither Gun Boats nor Fast Attack Craft
could operate in the Kilaly lagoon due to depth constrains. The Navy
operates only small boats in the lagoon area. It is believed that the
motive of this false reporting is to mislead the international community
and the Co-chairs prior to the negotiations scheduled to take place
on October 28-29, in Geneva.
Pro LTTE media has also reported of an Army offensive towards Vaharai
in the East today. The Security Forces have not even intended to move
out of their detachments towards uncleared areas. The Defence Forces
completely deny the fabricated media reports disseminated by LTTE sympathetic
media groups.
