| Deep penetration squads notch up successes against the LTTE |
| 2008-01-13 |
| The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) Military Intelligence head Shanmuganathan Ravishankar No, not Ravi Shankar! alias "Col." Arulventhan a.k.a. Charles and three of his deputies were killed on January 5 when the vehicle they were travelling in was hit by a claymore mine. The explosion occurred at a spot between Iluppaikkadavai and Pallamadu along the Mannar-Pooneryn Road in the Mannar District. The LTTE accused the ArmyÂ’s deep penetration unit as being responsible. The Tigers were referring to assassination squads run by the armed forces, known officially as Long Range Reconnaissance Patrols (LRRP). The LRRP, referred to as deep penetration units by the LTTE, move into Tiger-controlled territory and ambush top Tiger leaders. Very long, read the whole thing. Special forces infiltrate enemy territory on assassination missions. Great stuff. |

| #6 The Tigers have also been actively fundraising Stateside. A couple of them were convicted, I think for credit card fraud, not so long ago. |
