The elite Special Task Force (STF) troops gained control over another LTTE strategic base at Kangikadaichi Aru, Ampara on Tuesday the 16th of January.

The SL security forces launched a "Defensive Military Operation", on the boarders of Batticaloa and Ampara, beyond the perimeters of the un-liberated areas. Initial reports from Ampara said, the captured terrorist base was stocked with looted humanitarian aids, sent in provision for the thousands stranded in the tensed eastern frontier.

Meanwhile, military sources revealed that chambers used for torturing of innocent civilians and child soldiers were also discovered, within the LTTE base premises.

Pro-LTTE media elements have swiftly denied the accusation on these secret "torture chambers". However, defence sources said, the international humanitarian agencies are urged to investigate into the issue which is a crime gainst humanity.

The LTTE is an internationally banned terrorist outfit, accused of mass murder, suicide bombings, child soldiering and genocides. Recently the U.N strongly worded the LTTE responsible for violations of Human Rights and Humanitarian laws at large in the island nation.

The torturing chambers used by the LTTE terrorists to punish the child solders who attempt to dessert the outfit. This chamber was discovered by the STF troops recently as they captured a large terror base in Kangikadaichi Aru jungle in Ampara. Many child soldiers surrendered themselves to the STF in Ampara have mentioned abut this horrifying torturing chamber what the called "Siththirawada Kadai", (Butcher's Place).
