13 Tigers surrendered: army

B. Muralidhar Reddy

COLOMBO: Amid rising tensions in the north, the Army on Monday said at least 13 LTTE cadres holed up in the Thoppigala jungles in the east had surrendered. There is no comment from the Tigers on the claim.

Going by the military version, perhaps it is after a long gap that so many active cadres of the LTTE have surrendered. The usual practice for the Tiger cadres is to consume cyanide capsule in the event of capture.
