The retreating LTTE cadres left behind a huge cache of arms, including two partially damaged 152 mm heavy artillery guns, in Vaharai in Eastern Sri Lanka last week.
"This is the first time 152 mm guns have been captured. Earlier, we had destroyed such guns," the Sri Lankan Army spokesman Brig Prasad Samarasinghe told Hindustan Times on Tuesday.
The retreating Tigers had blown off the barrels of the guns with grenades, but it was possible to render the guns serviceable again, Samarasinghe felt.

ONe terrorist was saying "Acquiring some real estate does not mean much'' . Not sure if the same applies to this.

Re: Will they say the same thing?
Dear Bootha Malli, Yes, may be they are also not concern about the military hard wear they left behind when they took to their heels. The SLA confirmed that the long range cannon they found are not looted from SLA stocks, they are been smuggled. So it is clear, still these guys can smuggle things into the country at their will. |
