Claymore blast kills 2 STF

A LTTE claymore mine explosion killed two officers of the police Special Task Force in Kebithigollewa this morning (May 01st), the Media Centre for National Security said.

They had been clearing an area between two bunkers at Dutuwewas around 7.10 when the attack was carried out, the MCNS said.

Subsequent to the explosion, a firefight broke out between the STF and the LTTE, in which two Tiger cadres were killed.

Their bodies and a T-56 rifle were found from the scene of fighting later, the MCNS added.
