Civilian foils LTTE bid to kidnap children
A civilian had prevented an LTTE attempt to kidnap
children from the No Fire Zone. The civilian had grabbed the fire-arm of
one of the three LTTE cadres who came to kidnap children and fired at
the kidnappers.
In the ensuing gun battle the civilian and the LTTE
cadres have all died but the children were saved from being kidnapped.
An INGO volunteer who witnessed this scene is said to
have informed the diplomatic community about the incident, said a press
release issued by Director, Government Information Department Anusha
Pelpita.
