LTTE directs mortars towards Madhu Church

Catholic priests at Madhu Church confirmed yesterday that LTTE had directed mortar fire to the Church premises twice yesterday, Military Spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara said.

"No casualties were reported from the incidents", the Brigadier added.

"The catholic priests confirmed that LTTE mortar fell on to the
Mission House on Wednesday around 5.30 p.m," the Brigadier added.

"The intention of the LTTE is to evict the priests at the Madhu Church
and cause damage to the sacred Madhu Church premises to tarnish the
image of the Security Forces," the Brigadier added.

The LTTE has continuously used the 'No Fire Zone' in Madhu as a cover
to direct mortar fire at the advancing troops now consolidating their
position in the south and north of Madhu.
