Grenade attack on Vavuniya LTTE Political Wing Women’s camp
An unidentified group of three persons is reported to have carried out a grenade attack on the LTTE Women’s Wing complex in Vavuniya yesterday 20 August 2005 around 22.40 hrs. LTTE member Ms.Durga and two other female workers were injured in this attack.
At about 22.30, the Grama Sevaka Officer Mr.Sivagnanasunderam has telephoned the LTTE Political Wing Office and reported that he had seen the movement of three people in front of his house. When challenged by him as to the identity and the need to be there at that hour, they have reportedly said that they have come there mistakenly. Suspecting foul play, the Political Wing has alerted its members to look out for any suspicious characters. While in the process of searching the vicinity, the grenade exploded and the attackers were seen running away from the scene. A report to this effect was made to the local SLMM unit and the injured were taken to the General Hospital at Vavuniya for treatment.
